Site Maintenance

Each group is responsible for developing and maintaining the content of its own site. This responsibility does not require technical expertise but rather hands-on knowledge of your group's activities. We offer extensive support and online resources to ensure your site is maintained according to your group's needs.

Single-editor model - recommended for small departments & programs

Depending on his or her level of technical expertise, your maintainer can chose between either of Macromedia's Web development tools: Contribute for text and other basic site edits, or Dreamweaver for more advanced site maintenance. Please see our publishing guide for more information about the relative advantages of these tools.

Distributed maintenance model - recommended for large departments

A distributed maintenance model takes advantage of the interoperability of Macromedia's software products. Multiple maintainers can be set up with Contribute to submit content changes from their local areas of responsibility to a central site administrator. The administrator can in turn use Dreamweaver to review and approve all proposed changes, as well as handle the site’s more advanced maintenance requirements.
