MS Frontpage VS. Macromedia Contribute

[Nabeel]

Hi,
I work for a junior college and we are exploring ways of
allowing faculty members to maintain their own web
content.
The most important aspect of such updates should be that
pages remain section 508 complaint. I played around with
trial version of macromedia Contribute but still not
quite sure if this is the best way to go. At many levels,
contribute seems very similiar to front page. Can anybody
please elaborate on the differences and make some
suggestions?

Thanks,

Nabeel

FrontPage has a new "dynamic web templates" feature that would allow them to
only work within certain areas. I'm sure they could take it out of
compliance easily enough.
Perhaps you might look into some kind of database arrangement. there are
lots of "content management systems" that store page content in a database
and just call it to the page when needed. your faculty members would then
only be editing database content and that would allow you much greater
control over their "work".

what are you wanting them/ expecting them to do, I'm sure someone will have
a recommendation on a CMS.
