We’ll be teaching another class this fall that qualifies for the Web Development Certification. This time it is a bit different than last fall - we are building the site in a simple content management system instead of in HTML. It speeds things up a bit, allows us more time to learn other skills which help make the site more effective.
This system is more suitable to small businesses who need to have an administrator to handle the site, but who want someone else to do the page updates, or for people who want to be able to make simple updates to their sites.
One advantage is that no software is needed other than image editing software to handle the images. You don’t have to keep buying updated versions of HTML software, because it is built into the system.
The software we install onto the web hosting account is free - so updates never cost you any more than the time to go get them. Nice little perk from choosing good Open Source software.
We’re kind of excited to be able to offer this option, which wouldn’t have been available even two years ago.
