Welcome

"Do you find yourself on the Internet at 3AM...?"

Did your parents fear you would morph into a "vidiot" (a.k.a. video idiot)? Do you find yourself on the Internet at 3AM saying to yourself, "I can do better than that?" Will you admit in public that you are a webling? When you wrote notes to your friends in class, did you do it in JavaScript? Do you program in your sleep? Face it, you've got Webmaster written all over you!

Webmasters maintain the overall functionality of the site, the Web content, and database interfaces. Webmasters work with Web designers and Web architects to create the functional interactivity of a site, coordinate the technical layout, stream audio and video, and use programming languages like HTML, JavaScript and Cold Fusion to construct a site, and programs like Flash as a media tool to animate the site. Webmastering consists of changing content and ensuring prompt delivery across the net. Webmasters are responsible for the management of all of the Internet connections for a company.

If you are a Webmaster, you usually have an arsenal of CDs with you at all times. You are intensely creative and you are a perfectionist about your work. You have a unique ability to master the technical, while being able to let loose with your creative side. You are into music, video, computers, and cartoons. You have a unique ability to make complex concepts simple for the rest of us.

Webmastering is just one of the many careers that web design students prepare for at the International Academy of Design & Technology, Tampa. Here are a few more exciting careers to consider. Web developer, Web designer, graphic designer, web architect, HTML or Flash programmer, media programmer, Web marketing analyst, content developer, and audio visual specialist.

Face it, you're creative, and you belong here.
