Almost everywhere you look someone is talking about or calling themselves either a webmaster, web developer or web designer. But what does it all really mean?
There is a big difference in the job descriptions and duties of a web designer, a web developer and a webmaster, but the average person gets them confused but Smartbrief has taking time to study and help people understand and to decide on who to hire, A Webmaster, Web Developer or Web Designer?

A webmaster
A webmaster (from web and master) also called a web architect, web developer, site author, website administrator, or website coordinator is a person responsible for maintaining one or many websites. The duties of the webmaster may include seo, sem as well as ensuring that the web servers are operating correctly, designing the website, generating and revising web pages, SEO testing, replying to user comments, and examining traffic through the site. As a general rule, professional webmasters “must also be well-versed in Web transaction software, payment-processing software, and security software as well as being experts in marketing and social networking.

Web Designers
Web Designers are basically graphic designers. They should have a creative and artistic background and be strong in visual and graphics. A web designer is responsible for the overall look and feel of the site, including the photos, color, font type and size, graphics, and layout.
The designer may not always be the person writing the code and in some cases can work independently of the team who will take a website design live.
Much of a designer’s job is creative and uses both intuition and imagination, often characteristics of people who are considered right-brained. People in this field may continue their educations in a variety of fields but are most commonly drawn to graphic design and the arts. Designers collect work portfolios to showcase their projects for potential employers.

Web Developers
Web developers do not have experience in design work, and that is not their primary function. The developer’s job is knowing how to write the proper css, html, php or mysql code and how to tie it all together including forms and other elements of the website. In other words, the web developer is in charge of the functionality of the website.
As a general rule web developers primarily work with websites, as opposed to building an application that would run on your computer.
