Website development and maintenance overview
Contribute works with your existing website, whether it’s an intranet or a public website. It often
takes a team of people to get a website up and running and to keep the content current.
The team may include the following people:
Web developers
create the website. The web developer (or design team) uses a website-creation
application, such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, to build the website. This person is responsible
for planning, designing, developing, testing, and publishing the website. For some websites, the
developer might use
templates to maintain a consistent look and feel across the website.
Dreamweaver web developers should see Dreamweaver Help for more information.
Contribute users maintain the website. These are the marketers, managers, educators, students,
small business owners, administrative assistants, project managers, and so on, who use
Macromedia Contribute to keep their websites up-to-date. The user needs no experience in
HTML or web design. Because Contribute works like a word processor, the user experience is
intuitive and familiar. Users can add or update text, images, tables, links, and Microsoft Word and
Excel documents.
This guide is designed for Contribute users.
