At my school "web design" was creating a document in MS Publisher and clicking export to html

I remember my sister doing "Web Design" for uni 100% in Dream Weaver Their classes we're roughly explaining which magic buttons to press in what order and voila: web design

Web publishing for individuals shouldn't be anymore complicated than that. Just add a "Publish to SFTP" instead of "Export to HTML" and we'd have a vibrant network of personal websites out there.

Yeah but in school I'd just wished they'd taught me html and css. Or even that there was another way of making a website that didn't require the MS Office suite.

Adobe Dreamweaver still exists and is still proprietary. This one (Webstudio) is open source.

Ah Netscape Composer. You just won't die, will you.

Ah.. Microsoft FrontPage (especially FrontPage Express), I miss you!

I feel Macromedia Fireworks and Macaw is getting summoned.

Thanks for posting it:)
