About the Agile Webmasters
Today’s “webmasters” are typically teams are teams of specialized individuals. No longer can a functional knowledge of HTML and Photoshop serve as a basis for a claim to being a full desk webmaster and modern web development requires a broad array of talent ranging from design to programming, and from server administration to search engine optimization and the most agile of webmasters need to become strong experts in their discipline, learn to wear multiple hats or both.
With a team of experienced web developers who have worn many of these hats Agile Webmasters blog aims at providing the modern webmasters with comprehensive industry news for the broad perspective needed to execute web strategy at the most competitive levels. We also plan to provide examples of best practices in web development and occasionally share some secrets we are willing to part with.
