Did you notice the 5 fingers of your hand, each of different sizes working together as a team throughout the day, helping you to finish your day to day chores? Even as I sit and write this article, my 5 fingers accompany my brain and press different keys of the keyboard. I just cannot imagine to type using only one finger. As a team, my fingers work faster and within minutes my set of words are keyed in.
Any kind of work, whether simple or difficult, can be accomplished beautifully with speed when worked together in a team.
Similarly, your website comes out with elegance and professionalism when worked together by a creative team, comprising of graphic designers, programmers, content writers, animators, webmasters, system administrators, marketing guys, etc.
Each creative person has a different skill set and is entitled to create brilliance in his area of work.
The project manager is the head of the team who acts as a liaison between the client and other team members. He is responsible for the overall development of the client’s website. He needs to clearly explain the concept to the webmaster, the designers, programmers or other script administrators. All the communications and follow-ups with the clients are usually done through the project manager.
Next on the structure comes the webmaster. He works closely with the project manager, designer and programmer for determining the structure and content of the site. After the site is hosted, webmaster takes care of the maintaining and updating the site on regular basis. Any loopholes or broken links on the site are rectified by the webmaster. He is also in charge for the complaints, suggestions and requests done either by the viewers or the client.
The graphic designer visualizes the site’s layout and accordingly creates his artistic page using Photoshop, CorelDraw, Illustrator, Flash and other designing software. He or she should have a thorough designing knowledge and also have a great color sense. It is his imagination and color scheme which gives the site a rich or dull look.
This static Photoshop site comes to life with the codes of a programmer. He is responsible for the overall functioning of the site.
