Training pages for Contribute - it's easy, free, and self-serve

Click here for contribute screen shot actual example, where my client updates the real estate listings several times per week, after the page and tables were initially set up by us using Dreamweaver (Contribute's partner).

Note: SherwoodPhoto.com receives no financial benefit from the sales of Contribute™-- we promote it because it's a reliable and collaborative solution that saves us time for situations where the client wants to participate in web site maintenance. (Other tools such as FrontPage™ are unreliable and yield inconsistencies in browsers other than Internet Explorer, and cause continual support questions to us for why "the web site doesn't work" when really it's a FrontPage problem!)

There are hundreds of approaches you can take for the content and the process by which you design (or have designed) your web site. Time and cost budgets, as well as the goals for your site, will have strong influence on the complexity and design depth of your site.

You choose how much or little you desire to be involved (and spend!):

1. Create your site all on your own - utilize our economical web hosting services:  you design and maintain your own site.
2. Split the efforts with us: Have us host and do the initial design of your web site, and you can do any of the following:
• Supply images (digital files(jpg, etc.), slides, negatives, prints)
• Supply text ready to insert
• Once your site is designed by us, you can make minor edits on your own using Macromedia's new (as of Nov 2002)
  Contribute tool (about $80 web price) - no need to learn html or web technology. Using Contribute is similar to editing in Microsoft™ WORD.
3. We can implement it all-- Have us host, design, and maintain your site.
