[Year 12 IT Apps] Creating websites?

[Baas, Benjamin B]

It would be nice to be able to use a CMS, there are some good free ones available. At the moment I have limited software choice and most of students will be making sites using only notepad++.

An interesting question indeed. A decade ago, knowledge of HTML would have been required. Times change, CMS and click/drag site builders are now the norm. VCAA's list of required skills for websites may need a face lift, because its age is starting to show...

Hi everyone,
Just home from an Adobe presentation of Adobe Muse for website creation on a visual basis. No knowledge of HTML, CSS seems to be needed.
Could a software program like this be used to meet the Year 12 ITA course requirements?

It is able to  create a website. But little more than point and click appears to be needed to create an online community.

Cheers,
