The arrival of Macromedia Studio 8 brings Adobe Contribute 4 into Macromedia's must-have design suite for start-to-finish website development and maintenance. The special relationship Contribute has with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 allows web professionals and content providers to work together much differently than before. Web designers don't have to worry about contributors messing up their code and writers don't have to worry about doing anything that affects their site adversely.

In this article I explore the powerful integration between Contribute 4 and Dreamweaver 8 that gives web designers, developers, and content contributors a powerful, cost-effective way of develop and maintain websites.

Note: If you are still using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and not Dreamweaver 8, please see the article I wrote for the previous version, Integrating Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Contribute 4.
