Killer Sites

http://www.killersites.com/

Wide range of introductory to intermediate articles on web design, free stock photos, forums etc. Very comprehensive site. The author's work is used by a number of colleges and universities in America .

The tutorials used here would suit a year 8/9 project, and some of the more advanced tutorials on javascript programming would suit the SDD course.

How to Build Websites

LEARN WEB DESIGN EASILY

Learn WEB DESIGN by hand coding HTML ; no previous experience is required! Only seven simple tutorials and a total beginner will be hand coding HTML pages quickly. Seven tutorials…because it's about html coding, no fancy web-creation programs needed.

By the same author as Killer Werbsites, this site provides a crash course in HTML for people with no previous experience. They cover basic webpage design, links, tables etc., then move on to CSS and a bit of Javascript. The first three tutorials would make an excellent introduction to webpage design.

Entheos web

http://www.entheosweb.com/website_design/default.asp

Good range of tutorials for Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Plus articles on web design and graphics. Very well laid out and easy to follow tutorials. I have worked through some of these tutorials, and they produce professional looking webpages very quickly. You need Fireworks to complete most of the tutorials, which would limit its usefulness in some schools.
