Division of labor when creating and maintaining your website

We suggest a classical method of division of labor.

Zulu for the designer

The designer creates a template defining the appearance of the website such as object positioning, spacing and fonts. It is possible that the design of a website is approved before its content has been completed.

The designer needs a good knowledge of HTML. The website's browser-, and screen-, and window-independent presentation depends heavily on his skills.

Zulu for the secretary

The secretary maintains the content-files. He only needs minimum HTML-skills because the content-files are not loaded with layout information.

Example content-file:

<h1>Welcome to the Zulu-website!</h1>
<p>Zulu is an easy-to-use ...
<h2>The current project</h2>
<p>Zulu is currently ...

The secretary preferably uses 'Notepad', 'FrontPage' or an other HTML-editor.

Zulu for the webmaster

The webmaster keeps track of the website structure and assembles the website (by clicking the 'ZULU' button). He ensures that the assembled pages are linked correctly.

The webmaster looks after the web server. He uploads the web pages to the web server (with FTP for example) according to the content-files given to him by the secretary.
