Once
you decide the theme and goals of your website, you
can begin to build your site. While it may not be practical
for the Web Architect to also be the Web Manager, the
theme of the web site should be a seamless blend of
the editorial content presented by Web Manager, and
the sites "look and feel" as presented by
the Web Architect. The Web Architect or Technical
Manager manages web site identity, navigation, information
infrastructure, page templates and graphic standards.
As
your site grows, and as the use of your site filters
through your organization, you will need more assistance
in the day to day production of your site. On a Local
level (each location or department) you should have
at least one local content editor. These people should
know the theme of the entire site, or their part of
the site, and always be looking for material for the
site. A Local Content Editor gathers individual content
items at each location, and continiously screens new
material for proper editorial content.
A
local web editor would be nice, but is not essential.
While just a text copy of the written material could
be submitted to the Webmaster a local web editor could
be the person who adds the graphic or photo to create
an actual webpage. A Local Web Editor developes web
pages (HTML) from editorial material using site policies
for style and structure.
How
much style and structure than happens at the local level
will vary based on the size of the local web site, as
well as the expertise of the staff. A larger location
or larger department with a proportionally larger web
site could have a web team which would consist of a
group of local content editors and web editors.
