webmaster

Website maintenance person

A webmaster is the person responsible for maintaining a website—managing its content, functionality, and technical operation.

The term emerged in the early days of the World Wide Web when a single person often handled everything from coding to content updates: Contact the webmaster if you find broken links.

Now somewhat dated, as web responsibilities have fragmented into specialized roles like developer, content manager, and SEO specialist.
