How is IT involved?

Where can I see it?

Almost any corporate website has had a web designer or developer work on it for a great length of time.  Modern organizations' websites are, for the most part, too complicated to be the work of a single person, protocol, or piece of software, so it takes a Web Development team to imagine, create, and maintain a corporate website.

How can I be a part of it?

Web Designers/Developers have a very strong foundation in computers, networking, and telecommunications.  Strong math and communications skills are also a must to comprehend the data pertinent to the running of a website, and a good knowledge of database management is also very useful.

Web Designers/Developers work closely with Web Managers, Data Network Designers, Multimedia Programmers, and Public Relations.
