Dear All

I have been approached to design a web design workshop for 6 -7 year olds - eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk

I just want to make it quite basic and very hands on - with the aim to build the individuals own personal page with pics, text and colours.

Am not sure if I should be using WYSIWYG editors or code -

I am wondering if anyone as any experience or advice they could offer.....

Wow sounds like a challenging workshop! I've no experience of this I'm afraid but I would suggest staying well away from any code and probably stick to a really basic WYSIWYG editor. If you're on macs then maybe something like iLife's iWeb would be a good place to start. I'm sure there must be windows equivalents too.

I hope you post up how it goes on here I'd be interested to hear.

Good luck!

I would think the course would be like most others.

If its web design then wysiwyg, if its about SEO or learning HTML then an editor would be better.

Personally I would go the wysiwyg.

Cover topics like H tags, P tags, colours and accessiblilty.

For images make it simple just stick to cropping images and what formats are best.

If you become stuck, give me a shout I would be happy to help.
