Why do you need to "make" it fun?

In my view, a mentor's job is (when possible) not to make a program or a plan for the students, but instead to facilitate the students, let them drive themselves, and give them access to the tools and the knowledge they need in order to learn and create.

If coding isn't fun, there are ways to build a site without coding; if design isn't fun, there are ways to build a site without designing (not that I would endorse that path myself).
