AFAIAC it's the end result that matters here. I let my kids use any tool they like as long as the final prototype website achieves its purpose. <br><br>If Notepad can produce a site that nicely demonstrates/simulates online tools being used by a virtual team to make decisions and share information, then it's fair enough. GUI web editors are just wrappers to automate the creation of HTML, CSS and PHP code that Notepad could produce manually.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">This is probably a dumb question,
but if a pupil is proficient in html and css, can they create their prototype
website in Notepad (or Vym, or Notepad++ etc). I know the task must be
completed using appropriate software that can create a website, but does that
include something as simple as a text editor or must they use Dreamweaver or
another WYSIWYG type of editor?</span></font></p>
