Contribute good as a cheap CMS alternative?

[iolo72]

I have small clients and they are not always willing to shell out money for
maintenance but they want an easy/economical way to make updates by themselves.
I don't want to build a custom dynamic system just to give them options to
update their pages especially when the site is small. I was thinking about
installing Contribute for my clients so that they can make site edits when
there is no need for database.
Is anyone actually doing this?
Thanks.

Yes, I use this for clients all the time. It's perfect for small,
non-database driven websites.

Do you have any issues with Contribute not rendering parts of the page
properly?

I am trying to use it for the first time, and finding that it puts black
backgrounds on several UL's (where a light colour shows in Dreamweaver
and all browsers) - making the dark text almost invisible. Do you have
to revisit all your code and ensure that all elements have explicit
foreground and background color declarations perhaps?

Can't say I have had the problem out of the 5-6 sites I have set up so
far...

Is this software something that needs to be installed on each client's workstation or is it on the servers allowing for web-based access?
Thanks.

Contribute is a client software which must be installed per workstation.
