Page Creation Summary

This "leftcolumn" area is set in the template and Contribute can't touch it. Below is a zone added to have editable links. It has a light blue background. If you change the font type or size it could mess up the entire "leftcolumn".

 

Summary of Contribute Demo

After using the trial Macromedia Contribute 3 and creating the "DEMCON" pages the client is satisfied that he wants to give it a go on the live site. How well it will work depends on his desire to patiently apply what Contribute can do.

A down side that I see is the inability to make site wide changes to the template. He plans to put up a lot of news articles and it could be a little time consuming keeping the linkage uniform throughout the site. He will have to manually add links that he wants to show on all the pages, that is unless I'm missing something. If he posts a lot of articles this could be a bother.

He was able to easily create a new page from the template and link it.

The client's new site will be at rxpertusa.com and is not quite ready to go live. I hope to update this page after he has used Contribute for a few months with his site.

DEMCON was not meant to represent a quality web site but is more of a scratch pad or testing ground.

  This is the "rightcolumn" editable area. It has a font size of 12px to compare with main. Main and Rightcolumn font size is set in the CSS but can be changed when applied from Contribute. The style is applied just to the local page and is not in the external style sheet file. Use caution here as you might mess up the look if you have different font sizes in an editable area.
