Webmaster is a dynamic Internet based career. Every company, institution, and organization feels a compelling need to be online. At the very least, they want to develop a presence on the Internet. Webmasters design, develop, and maintain these highly visible web sites.

As a Webmaster you might be called upon to work in a group developing interactive eCommerce/eBusiness sites. You could be in complete control of an auction site, a discussion group, an online newsletter, a physician's appointment page, an organization's membership site, or develop a marketing presence for a new product. Webmasters are often the first to test new and state-of-the-art equipment as well as the latest software. They are allowed to indulge in artistic and professional freedoms rarely seen in any other industry. Numerous Webmasters are allowed - even encouraged - to work from home or use flextime. A Webmaster is a respected and sought after member of the Management Information Systems / Information Technology group.

This Webmaster course starts with the beginning of web page development and introduces new concepts through involving the student in active web page implementation.
