It is always good to draw on paper the look on paper a rough sketch of what you want the home page to look like. Then the relationship between each page. This is known as the structure.

Now comes building. Just as you would not build a office building by yourself, so building a business website does not take just one person. You have carpenters who frame the structure. You have sheet rock people who cover the skeleton. Then you have painters who give it  color. Then comes along the interior decorator who gives the whole structure its’ look and feel.

The webmaster, in this phase of construction, outlines the structure of the website. Then comes along the programmers. It is the job of the programmers to put in the electrical, plumbing, and sheet rock. The designer fills a two fold job. The designer puts color to the web pages, along with the furniture and decoration inside the building.

Through out this whole process the everyone is checking back with the webmaster who fulfills the role of a general contractor. It is the webmasters responsibility to make sure that all the sub contractor’s work in line with what the owner wishes along with meeting website standards.

The webmaster oversees all work. It is not only his job to build a website in accordance to owners wishes, but the website has to be user friendly, in addition to making sure all the little interactive applications are working the way they should. This involves a lot of testing and retesting on many different levels.

What is interesting is the fact that the complexity of an office building and the complexity of a website are both proportional to the time it takes to build it.
