Adobe InContext Editor

Adobe's new content editing feature, InContext Editor, looks like it will be a very useful tool for online, live editing of websites.  Web clients can update their own content as defined by the Web designer/developer.  I'm excited to test this feature with some existing clients, as well as begin to offer this live service to potential new clients!  And, best of all, IT'S FREE!!

Easily update web content online

"Let content contributors make website edits so you can focus on design. The Adobe® InContext Editing online service makes web content maintenance easy for designers and content editors alike — no software installation or training needed. Web designers can maintain the design integrity of their sites while enabling clients to make their own web updates from virtually any major browser."

Take a look at the lists of bad web design going back 13 years. I've used it as a resource in classes before undertaking a lesson on web design.

A site that is badly designed or uses confusing navigation could wind up on this site. I've actually noticed a few beautifully design sites listed that have ridiculous and confusing navigation.

Just because you know how to create a floating, blinking drop down menu that grows flowers and talks, doesn't mean that you should.
