What are the experts thoughts on whether Contribute is a good way to go
for clients who want to update portions of their site without using the
full blown Dreamweaver? I've never used it before.

Peggie already gave you some good advice. You have to realise (and the
client too), that they have to have Contribute on the machine they are
working on. They cannot update the information anywhere else but where they
have the software installed. Some CMSs allows a client to update their
website via a browser from anywhere they maybe. If they are happy with that
constraint, then yes Contribute would be the way to go.

Just by the by, I build web sites for automotive dealers here in the UK, ok,
not the most technically proficient people on the earth, be we use
Contribute for client maintained content and it works very well.
The trick is to make sure you lock down the site so they can only update
when you want them to update. EG. So they can't mess up any fancy navigation
mechanism. It's worth checking out.

Actually it depends on what they want to do and how well
they listen and follow instructions. I have two clients that use
it quite sucessfully but they are merely changing text. Both
sites are designed using CSS.
You will need to understand how to work with Contribute yourself
and probalby will have to help them set things up.
