Macromedia Contribute 3

The easiest, most powerful way to create and manage your site.

Contribute 3 is the easiest way for non-technical users to update their web site's text and images, insert links, create new pages and much more. Powered by the same market-leading technology as Macromedia Dreamweaver, there is no easier way to keep web content current and relevant.

Web Developers Business Owners
  • Use the site administrator controls to limit the changes being made to your web site, such as editing and publishing.
  • Let non-technical users participate in updating web content without risk of breaking site standards or application functionality.
  • Want to update your price list or post new photos to your web site, that shouldn't be hard, right? We don't think so either.
  • Take ownership of your online content and save time and money by updating your existing web site yourself.
  • It's as easy as updating a Microsoft Word document.

Easy to use

Browse to the web page that needs updating, click Edit Page, update the text or images, and click Publish-it's done. The intuitive, visual environment offers point-and-click simplicity. Build your small business using professionally designed Starter Pages and PayPal Merchant Tools for Ecommerce to enhance the value of your web site.

Design and develop without limits

Because Contribute 3 is compatible with HTML standards and offers advanced support for CSS, web professionals can use their current skills to build Contribute-compatible web sites. With new Shared Assets, common page elements can be centrally deployed to Contribute users. Contribute 3 also expands publishing capabilities beyond text updates with inline image editing and video insertion features.

Use Dreamweaver with Contribute

Macromedia Contribute works with HTML web sites created with any web design software. However, Contribute 3 integrates closely with Macromedia Dreamweaver, the professional solution for designing and developing web sites.
