What is a Webmaster

We use the word webmaster very regularly, but do we really know what it means?

What is Being a WebMaster? The word WebMaster is definitely a word of English origin, which if we translate it into Spanish is something like Web Master. But many times we hear these words that I am a WebMaster, I know a WebMaster and we do not really know what is the specific function of these people in which I include myself.

A WebMaster is the person in charge of a site, he would be like the director of a company, he is the person who decides the technologies that are going to be used, decides the servers, the chiches and the structure.

To begin with, a WebMaster is a responsible person, he is the person in charge of an entire Site, since he is the one who has, for example, the codes or passwords to make changes to the page. She is the only person authorized that if she does not like the structure or the contents of the site, she can say that she is going or not going.

WebMasters Vs. Graphic Designers.

We don’t have to confuse the many, WebMasters are WebMasters themselves, a designer is a designer, so if we don’t know about design on our site, let’s give work to people who know about the subject, since a WebMaster covers other topics as we explained. and has other responsibilities.

Many times we WebMasters want to give our design touch to our site, of course we can contribute many things for the designers, but a very important recommendation, not to decide on the design theme, we must have to build our site, a manager in the area, an expert on the subject of design so that we only focus on our work, which is to put together everything that the group puts together, in design and content.

One essential thing that we have to do when starting to work on our site with the designers is to explain the servers in which we are going to work, explain with percentages the technologies that are appropriate and those that are not, in short, adapt them to what that we have

WebMasters and security

Although we talk about the fact that the WebMasters are the people who are in charge of having the access codes to the page, we have to talk about the fact that they can also be the administrator of the site, therefore they have to have extensive knowledge of computer security to protect from any attacks on the site.

We also have to treat the WebMaster is that all the information that runs through our site is as private as possible, we must always make sure that our Servers are safe so that we do not suffer attacks by hackers with bad intentions and that they harm our work.

But anyway, who can call himself WebMaster?

To be a WebMaster, you don’t have to study any university degree, let alone go to a course to receive a WebMaster. The WebMasters are highly trained people in the field of Internet, for which we know the technologies of the market in depth, we are the ones who know well what we are working on in technical parts, we are the most important part of the site because we are the people who unite All the people who work, those of content, the designers, the noteros, the managers, to make a publication automatically pass through us the WebMasters.

A fundamental point that we have to take very, very into account to be a WebMaster is the responsibility we have, because if we read what was said above that we are the most important person on the site, we have to always be ready for any challenge, and we have to face our job responsibly.
