what is the actual duty of a webmaster?

Question

Hi guys,

Can any one tell me what is the actual duty of a webmaster?If you know the answer ,then answer here as early as possible............

Answer 1

Hello friends,
As a Webmaster,  about 20% of my time is spent maintaining the existing site. New offers are going up all the time, the focus of the site is rethought, improved graphics are created which require changes to multiple parts of the site. Someone needs to have a good idea of where the site is going, and what items fit where.
I have Netscape 1.0 through 4.04, IE 4.0, IE 3.0 at another computer, and Netscape 3.0 Gold on my Unix Sparc workstation. Plus, I have easy access to Netscape 3.0 and IE3.0 on a Macintosh, but I usually just ask my co-worker to check those for me.
Another 30-50% of my time is spent in project development. I create and maintain CGIs for the site, and so I have to know C programming.

The most formal definition claims a webmaster is a person employed to design, develop, market, and maintain websites. Remarkably, this overly simplistic definition is completely inclusive of all that a webmaster does in fact do in the course of his daily business – be it self-employed or as an employee of another individual or company
