I have covered various parts of website design before, however, I still get asked several questions about what I teach, what would I suggest to use for content management, etc.  This post is a brief outline on my thoughts.

Standards

I teach website design and have done for some time.  I always teach to the latest standard, firstly HTML 4 then 4.01 then XHTML 1 then XHTML 1.1 and so on.  For the past two years XHTML 1.1 and CSS has been the standards to which I teach to create semantically correct websites.  In addition PHP and MySQL are used as a backend to interactive sites in my classes.
