The Contribute CS5 Software from Adobe is a web publishing and content management application for Windows. Contribute allows you to publish and manage web pages, without the need to learn HTML coding. It uses an intuitive WYSIWYG editor, allowing you to visually create web pages.

Numerous templates are available, allowing you to customize the look and feel of web pages with ease. You'll be able to preview your site in any browser, ensuring that content displays correctly in different browsers. Contribute also allows you to natively edit XML, without the need to open a separate editing application.

True WYSIWYG Web Authoring

Take advantage of enhanced CSS rendering, which enables content authors to edit without writing code and to see the results of their edits instantly. Adobe Contribute CS5 immediately updates edits to XML content and Spry widgets

Predefined Content Types

Define content types that specify the design template and review process that will be used automatically when a new page is created. Content type can be HTML or XML

Rich Media Support

Easily drag and drop images, FLV and SWF files, or PDF documents into your web pages. Contribute automatically uploads the dependent files to the web server when the pages are published in predefined locations
