The good news is that finding a webmaster, particularly for small business web design, does not have to be difficult at all. In fact, the process of finding a webmaster is in our opinion easier for small/local businesses than it is for large enterprises. Here in this article we will address how to find a webmaster for your small business, the difference between a web master and a web developer and more information.

What is the relation between a web master and a web developer?
Definition of a Webmaster
Fundamentally, the definition of a webmaster is a sole person who undertakes Website management for your website.
But what do webmaster services include?
Webmaster services typically cover a wide range of responsibilities – some of which include updating important files to keep the website running, overseeing website security, fixing any errors they may have discovered themselves or been informed by from their clients and whatever business cases arise during the professional relationship between a client and a webmaster.
Definition of a Web Developer
In contrast to a webmaster, a web developer is typically tasked with the initial development, installation and engineering of your websites. An example would be installing your new website on your web hosting package. Most web developers will also be practising webmasters some way or another.
Web developer services typically cost higher the more complex the website is, which is seldom the case for the needs of a small business. An example of a large business hiring a web developer would be the following:
A medium-sized enterprise is looking to take credit and debit card payments on their website. They are looking to connect their merchant account with their website and need to hire a web developer that is skilled in ensuring all transactions are secure.
Are web masters freelance?
For the context of small businesses, yes webmasters are predominantly freelance consultants or experts in how websites work and how to fix them if there is a business case to do so.
Sometimes however, webmasters might work for a large company as a employee such as Amazon – to be responsible for managing and maintaining a specific business unit.
How do you find small business webmaster services or consultancy?
Finding small business webmasters is straightforward and does not need to be anything but straightforward. Some local businesses might prefer connecting with local webmasters in their area since they may have experience conducting webmaster services in their area of business. Others may have had experience hiring freelancers before on websites such as Fiverr or Upwork. Using the internet today, it is more easier than ever before to find such services.
