Website creation options for a 9 year old
css, html
Solution
That really depends on the project. But when I think about a 9 years old child, I would make it as simple as possible.
Even CMS like Joomla & Wordpress will offer too many options.
In that case you could try Google Sites (https://sites.google.com/). It's very easy to edit and create sites and nearly needs no foreknowledge.
Problem
My 9 year old daughter just told me that she is developing a website to eliminate global warming. She recruited a couple of school friends to be on the team, is lobbying the zoo to use one of their penguins as their mascot, and just registered a domain name for the site. Okay, I know a little about the technology, but want nothing to do with the creative design aspects and the HTML/CSS to implement it (other that saying "honey, that looks great!"). Any suggestions of an age appropriate inexpensive software to create the HTML/CSS? One option is something like wordpress, however, it brings a bunch of baggage along with it which I probably don't want. Or maybe some other application which just creates basic HTML and CSS which I can merge together. I don't think she wants to learn HTML at this time, just make pretty pictures. Thanks
