Web Master - Coder, recodes the website if necessary, maintains website, maintains the server, maintains content management system, redesign some graphic structure if necessary
  • Jason: for me theyre all the same thing nowadays.... but before it was really specific and each one is so distinct... now, a web designer should know javascript and xml for AJAX, a dev should likewise be very proficient in XHTML standards and CSS, a webmaster will be using photoshop aswell as dreamweaver.... now you should be flexible to land a job no matter what the title says... but i brand myself as a Systems and Web Developer since im basically a Programmer(slash)Designer(slash)Janitor... I also do my own server scripting and maintenance...
