Re: 1745 New Website
While technically you can't claim a Joomla! or Wordpress based site as "100% student built", it is pretty darn hard to build a good site using a CMS. While I wish I could put together a site using HTML, PHP, and MySQL written entirely with my own code, I can't. We just needed a functional website to present our content, not a project for the students (since we have no one interested in web this season).

I understand where you guys are coming from, but you can learn a lot working with a CMS. I actually became more interested in PHP and MySQL due to working with some of the components and plugins in Joomla! than I have before. And you can make some good money working with a lot of the popular content management systems.

So, really, it all depends on the situation, but I agree that it's really stepping on a line by claiming the whole entire thing as yours.
