Ready for self-editing Web Sites?
Finally! Easy web page editing: If there's one thing almost every web site customer asks for these days: "Can you let us have access to our web site? We'd like to edit our own web pages."
Forget the webmaster:
— Maintain your own web pages
Only yesterday, do-it-yourself editing went by a pretty fancy name, "content management" or "CMS." CMS involved lots of expensive programming, databases and, of course, huge budgets. Self-editing of web sites was out of reach for most small to medium-sized businesses. Not anymore. Now, there's Contribute CS . It's sophisticated. It's easy to use. And, best of all, it's cheap.
Contribute CS is designed to allow any person comfortable with standard office programs, to simply open a web page on your web site and easily edit the text and images. They can delete, edit or update anything that's not "blocked out" on the page, including tables and navigation links.
At the same time, those parts of the web page that need to remain untouched (such as the top banner, site colors and page coding features) can be blocked out or made un-editable. As your site's "administrator," you decide what to protect and what to allow to be edited by office staff.
Another powerful feature of Contribute CS is its ability to create brand new pages! Need to add a page to the site? It used to require a webmaster to create and new page and fill it with content. Not any more: Contribute 4 handles the whole process.
Contribute CS is easy to use. No manual is necessary to learn its features. If you know how to use Microsoft Word or other standard office applications, Contribute CS is a quick learn. Step-by-step instructions and tutorials get you started fast. An untrained staffer can be updating your website in less than 30 minutes after first opening Contribute.
It's not only powerful and easy-to-use, but it's cheap
Currently, Contribute CS is available as a download for $149. (Click here to go straight to Adobe.) As software programs go, this one is very inexpensive. Yet, you savings go way beyond the software cost. Think about how much you'll save in "website maintenance" fees by using Contribute CS. Maintenance fees can run into thousands of dollars per year.
Seldom update you website? Now you can! And, you should. The Internet is well past its infancy. Your customers use Google and Yahoo! to find your products and services. What will they see when they get to your site?
