: Being a Good Webmaster is so hard? How do you define a good Webmaster ? Because there are a lot of people can say "I'm a webmaster". And i say them "Yes you can use a lot tools, software

@Holmes151

The definition of webmaster has changed quite a bit in the last 15 or so years. It used to be somebody that runs a website, knows a bit of html etc.

However now I think the definition (although it is mainly opinions, not set in stone) consists of:


In charge of a website's daily progress. They may have a boss and they may have their own team (unlike before where generally less people would work on a website together)
Knows and uses tools and languages such as FTP, HTML, CSS, JS, CMS software etc.
Delegates the work around the team
The person who is contacted in regards to the website


Some people even argue that webmaster is a defunct position, however it is still on many job titles.

Basically, a webmaster is a manager with skills based on website development, design and content management. They do not need to be a master at any one of these, more of a "Jack Of All Trades Master Of Management" kind of thing.

I hope that helps, it was my first answer on this site!
