The templates work very well with Contribute. You cannot touch the stuff that's locked down in the templates. If the admin wants, you cannot add or change anything but text. It all depends on the permissions.
the way I see working with this program is that the designer/developer would design the DreamweaverMX template with all the basic elements, and navigation set up. Then those people adding content would use contribute. They would navigate to the development site, log in and open the appropriate page. The content provider would put in the content and so on. I can also see using this for maintaining the non-dynamic elements of a site - marketing person wants a new press release on the web. You put it there, but he discovers some typos. Rather than nag you to fix it, if he has the appropriate permissions he could take care of it, without bugging you about it. larry -- Larry C.
