Perfect Solution for Preventing Non-Designers from Breaking a Website! [Posted on 2007-04-22]
If you design website with Dreamweaver (works with non-Dreamweaver sites, but without Dreamweaver's integrated templates capability that locks portions of the page) that others will need to edit...AND you don't want them to break it, then Contribute is the product for you!

Allows you set user permissions that control what a user can edit, how they can edit a page, how they (and if they) can add images, whether they can publish or their draft needs reviewed, and saves rollback copies so any damage can be undone!

The user interface is easy and user-friendly - the user browses the site they wish to edit (and have permission to do so) and then edits the page. Simple.

This works best for the editor of a site created and maintained by Dreamweaver. And, it will make every Dreamweaver designer happier, healthier, and allow for the opportunity to spend your time making money designing a new site as opposed to the drudgery of continually editing an old site.

This is a great solution for non-profit clients who want to be able to update at will, but have too small a budget to afford a full web application design or can't afford to pay a web designer to continually make changes and updates to the content.

Don't Buy Contribute CS3 [Posted on 2007-07-26]
===DON'T BUY CONTRIBUTE CS3===
The Contribute CS3 version has a TON of bugs and does not work correctly with Server Side Javascript nor does it work correctly with interactive Flash Menus.
When I contacted Adobe to Swap the licence for the new CS3 for the older 4.0 version, they said 'NO' and that they where AWARE of the bugs but would not offer a solution at this time.
If you try to purchase any older version software, Adobe will NOT sell you older software nor will they support any older versions of Macromedia Software.
DON'T BUY ANY NEW ADOBE VERSION SOFTWARE!
They don't know what the hell there doing over there. At least Macromedia supported ALL of there software and allowed you to purchase older versions of software.
ADOBE SUCKS!

Website control! [Posted on 2007-09-03]
I have found this to be a great tool for modifying my website and giving me full control over the content. Its very easy to install and use although I'm still learning some more of the finer details. This product works great with an existing website and I would recommend web designers who work with Dreamweaver to tell their clients about it so they can give them full access to the content of the site without altering the design. I am certainly having fun with it! [...].
