Run a skills workshop. Start off running a skills workshop for your pupils, probably for other members of staff as well, because you want to get as many people interested in this as possible. Look at issues like what is good web page design, look at some good websites, ask children and staff what you think good websites are. Look at some poor websites for areas to avoid. Look at issues such as the language used in websites, how it differs from other media such as newspaper or books and it will start to get the children thinking about the quality and nature of the language that they are going to use on their websites.
Discuss issues such as accessibility, how the website navigates. Is it clear from the design of the website what you are trying to do? And then to include also in this workshop a basic tutorial on how to use your software which it would also be worthwhile writing up a few basic notes to accompany that.
