Re: Web Design Training
Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla!, and even using a forum software's CMS plugin/add-on are a great start. You can still teach them HTML/CSS since they will need those skills to work on the theme or customize the code, and even introduce them to PHP and templating a CMS/forum. Just like OScubed mentioned, using one of those will prepare the students for the future of the web, not just the history. Almost all medium- to large-sized companies and businesses use a CMS in one form or another.
