Web Design/Development and Web Service Support

Web support is a blanket term that can be used to cover all the people who plan, build, and manage a given website—which can include everyone from product and project managers to writers, designers, information architects, programmers, and database administrators. Web support professionals are charged with nothing less than conceiving, designing, building, programming, populating with content, branding, marketing, supporting, and managing websites.

The Web support is a 24/7 world. The Web support specialist contends with server migrations, download times, and site crashes in a virtual space driven by databases. The Web developer's Holy Grail is to optimize user experience to drive e-commerce sales, website-content subscription purchases, or online ad click-throughs (or whatever else is the primary strategic goal of a specific website).

The rapid and widespread use of the Internet and electronic business (e-commerce) has generated a need for highly trained workers capable of implementing business solutions.These computer specialists include web support specialists and database administrators. Expansion of electronic commerce-doing business on the Internet- and the continuing need to build and maintain database that store critical information on customers, inventory, and projects are fueling demand for web support specialists & database administrators familiar with the latest technology.
