Co-Creative Site Design

For some people, getting a web site designed and built is as frustrating as pushing a rope uphill. They have ideas but hate the necessity of writing them down so that someone else can actually type the words onto the web site.

Co-Creative Site Design empowers you to create the text and add the pictures directly onto your web site! You have the power to add and format text, pictures, tables, whatever you want while Hen's Teeth Network manages the technical programming of navigation bars, graphics, and animations. And, best of all, you need no special training to do it. If you can run a word processor (e.g., Microsoft® Word) then you can fully benefit from the Co-Creative Site Design process.

Phone (866)HENS-NET or (636)447-3030to learn how to begin co-creating your web site.

Co-Creating Your Web Site

Co-creating your web site is as easy as 1-2-3!

1. You buy a copy of a special program called Contribute.
2. Hen's Teeth Network constructs your web site using Dreamweaver templates and CSS style sheets which control the appearance of your web site.
3. You use Contribute to put the text (and possibly the pictures) onto your new site.

We then work together to revise colors, fonts, navigation, graphics, etc. As either of us makes changes, Contribute and Dreamweaver work hand-in-hand to assure that we are both seeing the same pages.

Best of all, you can still rely on Hen's Teeth Network to take care of any or all tasks that you do not want to handle yourself. Owning Contribute opens doors for you, empowers you, but it does not obligate you to do anything that you do not want to do.

The Details

You download a free trial copy of Macromedia Contribute and try it out. If you like it, buy a copy.

Hen's Teeth Network constructs your web site using Macromedia Dreamweaver templates and CSS style sheets. These control the look-and-feel of the site. (We can also apply a similar process to existing web sites.)

Hen's Teeth Network sends you a connection key which includes all of the technical details necessary to connect Contribute to your web site. The first time you use Contribute, you need to enter only three things: your name, email address and a password. After that, Contribute "knows" how to manage your web site.

From that point on, Contribute is ready to use. Start it up and use it just like a web browser. Find the page on your web site that you want to modify, and click the "Edit Page" button. Or click "New Page" if you want to add a new page to your web site.

Did you already type your text up in a Microsoft Word document or Excel spreadsheet? You can publish that on your web site by simply pulling down the "Insert" menu.

Want to add a new picture to your web site? Click the "Image" button. You can select images that are on your own computer or already on your web server. If the picture is on your computer, Contribute even takes care of "uploading" it for you.

When you are done, just press the "Publish" button. Or "Save for Later" if you will be returning later to finish the job. Or "Cancel" if you decide that you don't want to keep the changes that you just made.

Yes, it is really that simple.
