Contribute 1.0

摘要

Ii n a typical business scenario, Web ex-Iperts design the company Web site and non-technical staff writes the content. New or modified content usually flows through the Web design (or even IT department) where it gets posted to the Web site by your design and development staff, but posting content is not the best use of Web design and development resources. Macromedia, a company that creates applications for Web design teams, apparently understands this, and has come up with a product that puts the power to update the Web site into the hands of the non-technical end-user, leaving Web design and development personnel to do what they do best. Although Contribute by no means provides the control of sophisticated Web content management systems, at a mere $99 a seat, it gives content producers such as marketing personnel, the power to update a site whenever it's needed, and for many that will be a big leap forward for a small investment. What's more, it integrates tightly with Dreamweaver MX, a tool many companies already use to design their Web sites, yet also works with any HTML Web site, regardless of the tools used to create it. Though its not a perfect solution, this product is far more accessible than most HTML authoring tools and a fraction of the price of even the least costly Web content management system.
