Nowadays, nearly everyone is using the Web. However, the developing of proper and well-designed web pages is something between art and skill in relevant technology exploitation. Adequate skills are not likely to be gained individually, but it is reasonable to have them covered in university curricula at some level. This paper is devoted to the current situation in Czech universities with a focus on those curricula, where coverage of subjects oriented towards web technologies can be expected. An analysis of a number of syllabi of subjects focused on web technologies in the study programmes of nearly all Czech universities was provided and its results are presented. The results of our analysis are as follows: (1) the subjects focused on web development are being taught at the majority of Czech universities, apart from those that are artistically oriented; (2) the level of content of the respective syllabi varies significantly, and it is not much tailored to practical convenience. In conclusion, we are convinced that the implementation of the basic principles of the systems theory could contribute greatly to an improvement in the interestingness of web development-oriented subjects for academicians as well as their usability for students. It has already been proven that web presentation is a system, so we believe that it is obvious that this fact should also be reflected in web development teaching at universities in the Czech Republic, and certainly also elsewhere.
