Adobe Contribute CS3 content management system
So we finally got round to building a site in Adobe Contribute CS3 at long last... So what's the verdict?
Well let's face it not much has changed in the latest version of Contribute... You still use Dreamwever templates to manage content but with the new support of CSS* and web standards developing, a Contribute managed website, is how can we say it? A lot more "ethical".
Another great feature is the support for blog posting directly from the Contribute user interface so that you only need to train users on one system. Currently this supports Blogger.com, Wordpress and Typad - although in theory you can add any blog server we've only tested these three (in fact this post was created in Contribute and posted directly to our blog which utilises Blogger.com in case you didn't already know).
Anyway the point is that if you're looking for an expensive, user friendly CMS for your site - this is definately worth a look. We've built big corporate sites based on DotNetNuke and Drupal in the last few months but for the more basic sites (i.e. no commerce) Adobe Contribute is definately up there with those guys.
We'll let you know as and when we play and discover more exciting features but if you're looking for something cheap, effective and reliable for a "non-dynamic" site - look no further as Adobe Contribute is the best we've worked with so far.
* CSS-wise: We've noticed a few unexpected bugs with floats and absolute layouts that we are looking to find solutions too so if we find any solutions we'll be sure to let you know on here as soon as we do.
