Welcome to Mastering a Web Site

Note: In order to view all the pages of the course, use the navigation arrows found on the bottom of all the pages.

The goal of this class, and this Web Site, is to help you wade through the vast amount of information relevant to managing a web site. This Web Site should serve as a long term reference for Web Masters and page crafters and allow us to take advantage of this technology to maintain an online, easily updateable training course.

When you finish you will have a complete understanding of everything there is to know about the World Wide Web and managing web sites. Okay, you won't, but, what you should have is:

Knowledge enough to formulate the questions and a web based resource you can come back to to find the answers. Even the seasoned Web Master should find pointers and tidbits of heretofore unknown information.

Use this site to help with your work; The keyword search on the index page should help locate the references throughout the site that will, hopefully answer your questions.

There is a Document Checklist to help enumerate the pieces required to ensure quality documents and a bibliography is also included.

Please share with us your sources of information so we can add them to this material.
