Contribute Support

Contribute BoxContribute is a content management product that works seamlessly with our website and makes the maintenance of your pages easy. It also helps maintain design consistency throughout sites for large organizations such as PCC.

Here you will find basic instructions on how to use Contribute and a guide of things to keep in mind when editing content in order to keep the look and feel of the PCC website uniform. A uniform site creates an air of professionalism, reduces user confusion and allows everyone to know we are all "on the same (web) page."

You should contact the PCC web team before you obtain a licensed copy of Contribute to see if it is necessary that you make your own changes to your department's pages. In most cases, it is easier to have the web team perform updates for you.

Getting Started

Totally new to Contribute? The simple Adobe Contribute Quick Start Guide shows new users how to get started fast.

You will find that Contribute uses some of the same processes as the Microsoft Office programs. If you are familiar with Microsoft Office, Contribute should not be too difficult. See the in-product help, or online documentation for additional help.

The PCC page layout

Below is an example, broken up into sections, of what the PCC page layout is like. The only areas on the web pages that you will be able to alter are the page heading (section 2), the sidebar (section 3) and the main content area (section 4). You can also choose to omit the sidebar from a page.

Sample PCC web page
  1. Section 1: Header
  2. Section 2: Section Title
  3. Section 3: Sidebar
  1. Section 4: Content Area
  2. Section 5: Footer
