Thank you I know Sonja and Carina, but the company needs a specialist webmaster/designer, thats why I suggested pm to provide the details.
Thanks to all and DR1 we found an absolutely brilliant webmaster/designer who knows about every aspect including search engine positions. Excellent.

id be careful about the promise of search positions...we used to get high positions offered all the time in the uk ...but they used to promise it to everyone ...hold some money back until you can see it for yourself if possible
This great person did both and Ive recommended them to another business here, they are so well informed. Based in Canada but a regular visitor to the DR. We are in short supply here for good ones, the great ones I know here are overloaded with work.
Johne, I believe it could go any of three ways, depending on the complexity and size.
That's a good question John. I think a true web master is a web developer who has the skills to make a site interactive where the user can make queries and get the specific information that they're looking for.
Some sites are static and provide a web presence only, like taking content designed for print and applying it a Web browser.
Some people write for the Web, some manage the content, some design and produce pages, others design the databases and programs that serve up the information. Others know how to set up servers, firewalls, online registration, ecommerce etc. I think someone who has all those skills is a true web master. But the term is used loosely in the industry. Many sites are put together with a team of people who are all very skilled at what they do, some sites are created by less skilled individuals and even amateurs. With the software that's available, anyone can make a static Web site. And I agree with John Evans, beware of anyone who claims they can boost your rankings in the search engines. I did that site, by the way, and I don't consider myself a web master. More of a jack of all trades and a master of none. I have a list of things I would like to change already.

There are excellent Search Engine Optimizers that absolutely know what they are doing and bring value. They pay for themselves. A good optimizer starts talking about monetization as soon as they start talking about optimization. We are fortunate to have a very well regarded Optimizer and Marketing Consultant in amongst our regular DR1 posters. I am obviously not talking of the spam that we all get ... either get a bigger penis or improve your website ranking! That is all the same bs stuff.
Margaret you know you are a true webmaster and extremely talented. I didnt want to give out your name without your sayso, as I know how busy you are.
Reason for my concern
One of my web sites takes in payments for signed and numbered prints and I was concerned when I was having the site built (2 years ago) that customers would feel insecure about the payments being made.At that time one person designed and another did all else such as the security of the payments, page placement etc.
Some new stuff that I am doing I am using only one individual for all.

As an online shopper, I look https in the URL, SSL certificate, padlock. But still I have some anxiety about sharing my information online. I think many people still do. Verisign has some information you can read johne on the subject. Many good web site hosting companies will support your web designer in setting that up. I took Robert's advice on another thread about Godaddy.com and I'm feel more confident working with a company that offers such excellent support to people who aren't experts.

Why would you host these type of pages in the DR when it's completely legal in the USA?
