This usually involves the design side of websites, you may be asked to do all kinds, once again programming will be your friend here. You will need to know some sort of Markup Language such as HTML, XHTML, CSS or ASP.Net. This basically is formatting of a website so positioning, text size, background etc. You may also be asked to design graphics using software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Expression Blend etc. If your really talented you may be asked to do animation in flash... This can be a frustrating and long process as your client will never be happy with the first designs you come up with, believe me... they are hard to work with. Once again you will be working alongside programmers and system analysts.

Web designers should focus their education on design - graphics and layout. Most companies hiring designers want people who are visually artistic. You should study color theory and composition and get a degree in visual arts or visual design.

This usually involves the development side, so in short the coding. Web development will usually involve using scripting languages such as PHP and ASP.Net. You may also use C#, VB.NET or Java (most popular ones) to manipulate data for the business logic side, also Code Query Languages such as SQL or XML/XQuery to store data. You will then have to test your software/application/website which is a long daunting process. So in short, you most probably will receive designs spec and requirement specification from a team in which you would create the web application/site. In this situation you are more likely to work along side a team or small team depending on the size of the company. 

While hands-on experience is the most important type of preparation you'll need to become a Web developer, many employers look to hire those with at least a bachelor's degree in Web development or Web design. Graduate-level programs, like master's degree or professional certificate programs, focus more heavily on programming languages, Web design strategy and project management. If you enroll in a graduate program in Web design, you may take classes like content management systems, website architecture, business-to-business systems and database interfacing.

A webmaster needs to improve the performance of a website. His job description includes optimizing the website and analyzing the speed of the website. To do so he calculates the time needed for the webpage to load on the user's web browser. If the size of the webpage is too large, then the user will get impatient waiting for the webpage to load. The webmaster job description also requires him to monitor the uptime of the website, so that the availability of the server is as close to 100% as possible. The server should be up and running most of the time, without failing or crashing. The webmaster should also study the web analytics or statistics of the web site. 

Although formal education is not required by all employers, those interested in being webmasters can get their training through certificate and degree programs. These programs include courses in Web design, programming and Web authoring software. Webmasters should take continuing education courses to stay abreast of new technology. Certificate programs in Web security, systems administration and Web-based database systems are available.

Web authors are technical writers and website developers. They plan, research and author content available on the Internet. Web authors also build websites, produce the required coding language and develop the site's layout, look and feel, and user interface. They work for Web design companies, information technology consulting firms, media organizations, and the marketing or corporate communications departments of private companies. Web authors are also sometimes called webmasters or site stewards.

Technical writing is one of those writing jobs where a college degree is almost always required, though there will always be exceptions. Most employers looking to hire a technical writer, which is simply a writer who is hired to transform highly technical information into more readily accessible forms, begin by looking for a candidate with a degree in English, communications, or journalism. Employers then narrow those candidates down by focusing on what kind of education they have attained within a narrow field of specialty: law, technology, engineering, design and so forth.
