WEBMASTER
Some of the sites I am webmaster to
I define being the webmaster of a site as the person who set up the website, runs the daily working of it, oversees it, makes changes and updates where applicable. I am responsible for the "look and feel" of these sites not only when in the design and build stage, but also thereafter. I also consider SEO (search engine optimisation) to be part of my position, ensuring it's ranking with Google, and generally conforming to web standards, whereas website design I see as having designed and/or built the site and then handed it over to the client when/if this is their desire. I have also put Intranet design into this category as it is the design of elements, rather than building of the full site itself.
WEBSITE & INTRANET DESIGN EXAMPLES

A website, built in conjunction with an existing ISP as per client preferences. These images where done as pages, segments and included mock-ups and site structure for the ISP to work from.

I also set up a website for the company Vida Oils (after doing their logo, corporate identity, etc). On this occasion the client wanted to webmaster his own site after the initial setup, so we used Squarespace for this.

I cut my teeth on Wix doing a website for myself when I first started freelancing. The design has changed dramatically over the years, but it was an excellent starting point o test the limitations of a "user friendly" website builder.

GRAPHIC ELEMENTS, STRUCTURE AND COMPONENTS
I have also provided all the necessary elements for websites on request, be it structure, images or whatever else may be required including images for flash projects, World AIDS Day Websites, and Intranet solutions for Pfizer and other companies.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION (SEO)
SEO is the process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural” search results on search engines.
All major search engines (Google, Bing, etc) have primary search results, where web pages and other content such as videos or local listings are shown and ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users. There are people who specialise only in SEO, however, I try to include it with webmaster tasks. I consider a decent SEO ranking when the site appears in the first 3 pages of any major search engine. Optimally, the site should be listed multiple times on the first results pages.
