Founders and creators of computers’ hardware and software also made it all possible bringing the world closer apart and allowing people to conveniently access information, products and services via the internet. The technological super highway improved the life of the people around the world through shared medical, educational, and business information. People are can now easily keep in touch with families and friends wherever they maybe staying. Businesses can virtually establish online storefronts in different parts of the world without physical presence. And people can purchase products and services without stepping out of their house to do it. But without the webmasters who are responsible to create, test, and maintain Web sites, these conveniences may not be possible for us. Although my CS222 instructor selected my topic for me, but after thinking about it, I felt that this topic is very fitting as my research paper because the class I am taking, CS222-Web Site Design is a preparation of becoming a Webmaster. My topic is not just how to be a Webmaster but, how to be a GOOD Webmaster. In my research paper, I will define what is a webmaster? I will also explain how one becomes a webmaster and the responsibilities of a webmaster. Further, I will describe how Webmasters create Web sites and finally in my conclusion I will explain how to be a good webmaster.
