1.
Primary
contact person for the Web. Monitors access privileges to the
Web site account for page editing purposes. Informs PeopleTeams
or ByHisGrace.com Webmaster when someone no longer needs access
or contact information has changed. Coordinates Web development
activities for the site, making sure all the Owners and
Maintainers know what each other is working on to avoid chance
of people over-writing each others work. Makes sure web site is
consistent, such as footers and citations are being followed
throughout the site. Generally keeps an eye on the site to see
that things are up-to-date, links are working, etc. Reminds
Maintainers when their content becomes stale and needs updating.
Ensure that whatever review process is adopted for the site is
enforced and adhered to.
2.
Page
Maintainers can be the Web Manager, Content Owner or someone
else completely. Page Maintainers actually build the Web pages
within the site, convert content to Web format, make updates to
the pages, etc. One
site can have one Page Maintainer or several Page Maintainers.
When there are several, they have to be more careful about who
is working on what because the potential for over-writing each
other's work increases. Page Maintainers should not make changes
to the content given to them unless authorized by the Content
Owner to do so. Page
Maintainers should have a basic level of training in using the
Web publishing software.
Content
Owner: The Content Owner is the author or editor for a content
piece. The Owner
may be different for every content piece on the Web site.
Owners should be clearly credited or identified on a
document, just as they would be in print. When possible, there
should be an active e-mail link to the author for more
information. The
Content Owner is responsible for the accuracy and credibility of
a content piece. The Content Owner can delegate management
responsibilities for the document (i.e. give it to a Maintainer
to post on the Web site) but he/she cannot delegate Ownership of
those pages. |
