Adobe Contribute CS3 software enables anyone to quickly and easily update existing websites and blogs. With Adobe Contribute CS3, content authors can post and publish content to multiple websites and blogs from a single application or publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications.
 True WYSIWYG authoring capabilities let you edit any website in three simple steps. |
Easily update web content
For professional web designers, web developers, and website administrators, ensuring that website and blog content remains fresh and current is an enormous challenge. Often this means delegating the responsibility for updating web content and blog entries to numerous contributors, which can put website integrity at risk, especially when disparate tools are used for the different tasks. With Adobe Contribute CS3, anyone can quickly and easily update multiple websites and blogs using a single application--without compromising site integrity.
Simply browse to the website that needs updating or the blog that requires a new entry, make changes to the content using Adobe Contribute CS3, and publish when finished. You can also publish content directly from Microsoft Word, Excel, or Outlook.
Use one tool for publishing to multiple websites and blogs
With Adobe Contribute CS3, anyone can update website content or create blog entries using a single application. True WYSIWYG authoring capabilities let users edit any website or blog in three simple steps, dramatically reducing editing time. Alternatively, authors can publish directly from within Microsoft Office applications in a few clicks. Just open the document that contains the content you want to post, click Publish, and select the target website or blog.
Even rich media, images, movies, and Adobe Flash (FLV) files can be easily included in any website or blog using Adobe Contribute CS3. In Edit mode, just drag the file onto the website or blog entry. Adobe Contribute CS3 automatically uploads and posts it to the site when published. Because authors edit content and add images in their actual context on the website or blog before publishing, content length and style, as well as image sizes, are right the first time. With Contribute CS3, you can embed PDF documents directly into your web page or blog entry. You can also convert your Microsoft Office documents to Adobe PDF and insert them into a web page.*
Maintain website integrity
Seamless integration between Adobe Contribute CS3 and Dreamweaver templates ensures that your website's look and feel is maintained, even when multiple authors update content across the site. Web designers and developers can create page templates with editable regions during website creation and then delegate routine content updates to business users. Because content authors can update only the areas designated by the designer or webmaster, the website always appears as the designer intended. And just like Dreamweaver, Adobe Contribute CS3 preserves code quality and formats through the editing process.
Top reasons to buy Adobe Contribute CS3
Unified web publishing
Publish to multiple websites and blogs from a single application.
Easy Flash (FLV) upload
Include Adobe Flash (FLV) files in websites and blogs by simply dragging and dropping the file onto the web page or into the blog entry during edit. Contribute CS3 automatically uploads the file and posts it to the site on publish.

Adobe Contribute CS3 works on Intel and PowerPC based Macs and on Windows XP and Windows Vista systems.
Quick web page and blog posting from Microsoft Office
Publish content directly from within Microsoft Office applications using the template of your choice, significantly reducing your editing time. Contribute CS3 adds buttons to your Office applications that allow you to publish directly to a website or post to a blog without even opening Contribute.
WSIWYG blog templates
Enjoy the convenience of authoring blog entries offline in your own template, with convenient WYSIWYG layout and full-featured text editing. Drag and drop rich media elements directly into your blog as you edit it.
Editing from Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2

Perfect Solution for Preventing Non-Designers from Breaking a Website!,
By
This review is from: Adobe Contribute CS3 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
If you design website with Dreamweaver (works with non-Dreamweaver sites, but without Dreamweaver's integrated templates capability that locks portions of the page) that others will need to edit...AND you don't want them to break it, then Contribute is the product for you!
Allows you set user permissions that control what a user can edit, how they can edit a page, how they (and if they) can add images, whether they can publish or their draft needs reviewed, and saves rollback copies so any damage can be undone! The user interface is easy and user-friendly - the user browses the site they wish to edit (and have permission to do so) and then edits the page. Simple. This works best for the editor of a site created and maintained by Dreamweaver. And, it will make every Dreamweaver designer happier, healthier, and allow for the opportunity to spend your time making money designing a new site as opposed to the drudgery of continually editing an old site. This is a great solution for non-profit clients who want to be able to update at will, but have too small a budget to afford a full web application design or can't afford to pay a web designer to continually make changes and updates to the content.

Website control!,
By
This review is from: Adobe Contribute CS3 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
I have found this to be a great tool for modifying my website and giving me full control over the content. Its very easy to install and use although I'm still learning some more of the finer details. This product works great with an existing website and I would recommend web designers who work with Dreamweaver to tell their clients about it so they can give them full access to the content of the site without altering the design. I am certainly having fun with it! [...].

Do NOT buy this product!,
This review is from: Adobe Contribute CS3 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
The company I work for uses this product from time to time on sites. I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy. This product only brings pain and frustration.
If you are looking for this level of maintainability, please hire a real web developer to solve this problem for you. At least then there is a good chance you will get what you want. I have been working with this product since version 2.0 and now they are up to 4.1. The only thing that has changed in those 3 years is that they added blogging to the application, which none of our clients have used. This application is slow and very buggy. It always has been. It has been over a year and this product has not even been updated. I have used this product on large sites and small sites. Large as in 500 to 10,000 pages and small 1-25 page sites. If this is all that you can afford, then note that it might get the job done but it will not be a pleasant experience. When you can afford it please have a small web team or someone you know move you to an Open Source CMS (e.g. WordPress, Drupal, TypePad, Joomla!, etc., which are free) This product had a lot of potential but was never given enough attention from Macromedia/Adobe to make it great.
