Just recently, I noticed that programming artists and web developers or web designers are making noise in the internet. Their concern was about the “webmaster” as a professional title or job title.

Webmaster is outdated. That is what everyone is shouting today. The word webmaster came about as a website administrative contact in the early days. The tasks that were used to do by a webmaster included updating the site pages by adding content or adding pages, answers webmaster@yourdomain.com, maintains the server and other related tasks. Only one person did all these tasks before because the tasks were not as huge and difficult as today. The reason would be the fact that websites did not get any good returns on investment for several companies.

As time went by, the World Wide Web is getting more intricate. The tasks are getting more difficult and even bigger. One person cannot do tasks such as markup, programming, graphic or web designing, content writing and editing, internet marketing, information layout and many others. Each of the mentioned tasks is complicated that there should be one person to specialize each task.

Today, we use webmaster when we actually refer to someone who updates the technical part of a website. Most often, they are called web developer or web designer. Webmaster can no longer exist because the tasks that should be assigned to him or her are impossible to be accomplished.
