What do you think makes someone a Webmaster?

Wednesday June 4, 2008

As opposed to a Web designer, Web developer, or Web producer? This month I received 6 submissions to the "What is a Webmaster" survey. What do you think a Webmaster is? What do you use as your job title? Most people who read this site don't like the title "webmistress", but beyond that there isn't a lot of consensus. The following comments are the latest I've received, but you can read all of them in What is a Webmaster 4 - Reader Comments.

  • "A Webmaster understands the concepts of design, user interphase and data management and the methods used to deploy these elements." - Kevin


  • "The person responsible for everything on the web site." - Dorothy


  • "Without an understanding of how to code the site, a "webmaster" is not really a MASTER." - William
    Emphasis William's


  • "I still consider the system administrator who is responsible for the web server to be the webmaster." - Tom


  • "i agree that a webmaster is someone who cares for the website in its entirety" - natalie


  • "a webmaster is someone who designs the web site, like a system analyst who designs a system but has programmers to do the coding." - Gene
