should I advise my client to purchase contribute?

[Headwaters]

I'm a longtime user of GoLive and now, primarily, Dreamweaver. I'm about to
start building a site for a small business that wants to do minor content
editing in-house--the person doing it has little technical expertise but is
generally comfortable on a computer.

Sounds like a good candidate for Contribute? I haven't worked with Contribute
before, and my only concern is how a CSS-based layout will appear in
Contribute. I often notice odd visual effects in the layout view of dreamweaver
with my CSS-based layouts, but I'm used to it and generally ignore it (I often
work in code view anyway).

But I'm afraid it may make things difficult for my client if what they see
when they view a page in contribute is much different that what the browser
renders. So how does Contribute do with displaying CSS layouts?

Thanks.

It is my experience that Contribute does not properly display CSS
layouts.Especially if you float divs. If you think a layout looks odd in
Dreamweaver it will look a hundred times worse in Contribute. My co-worker
ignores it while making updates.

Contribute renders CSS worse than IE6. It is possible to get it to display
semi-correctly if you really know how to work CSS standards to your benefit. I
agree with the previous poster - if it looks nearly find in Dreamweaver, it
will look horrible in Contribute.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than Contribute for content editing?
