Adobe Contribute gives you complete control over your website's content and updates without requiring any coding. It features an intuitive, visual interface that allows you to add text, images, hyperlinks, new pages and much more to your site. In a typical workflow scenario, a professional with knowledge of HTML and CSS will create the website using Adobe Dreamweaver. Then, a non-technical person with no knowledge of code can easily maintain and update the content of the website using Contribute. This class is ideal for writers, content editors, managers and administrators who want the freedom to update their own web pages. In this interactive, hands-on class, you will learn all the skill necessary to connect to a website and manage its content effectively.
