Contribute 3.0 Available: Great Low-Cost Web Content Tool

Posted by TimSlavin at August 25, 2004

I see Macromedia has released Contribute 3.0. If you don't know, Contribute is a terrific bit of software any small or medium-sized business should consider to control authoring of its website(s).

Macromedia created Contribute as a way to drive designers to buy Dreamweaver, their very expensive website authoring tool. Their business model has designers sell in Contribute to their clients as a way to let clients make content edits to their websites. Contribute works great stand-alone, however. You don't need to buy Dreamweaver.

For $150 per person, Contribute 3.0 includes the ability to set up a review process for content, better image editing, WebDAV connections, and other good upgrades. Earlier versions added content roll-back and page locking, the ability to prevent others from editing content while another person was editing that page.

I've used this software for a number of clients with great results. It works far, far better and more easily than FrontPage, NetObjects, or similar tools, with more features.
