Creating a Web Development Team

What goes into created a web development team? Creating one is very wary but it differs on what you want to accomplish. First, there are a few different types of people that you want to hire.
The basics:
   -Web Designer
   -Web Programmer
   -SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Web Designer- Web Designers are the people that draw up how the site will look. These people are the creative backbone in the construction of your website. These are people born with the desire to create ideas; artists if you like. These artist either draw on paper, a whiteboard, or even create a Photoshop image but remember, if your programmers are intellectually creative enough, dont feel pressured in HAVING to have a web designer but if you come across a good one or someone with good ideas then feel free to have him on your team.

Web Programmer- Web Programmers are the structure of your team. Without them, well, there wouldnt be a team to begin with. Some people wont hire a "web master" because in their mind, it would be better to hire someone who masters front-end (a word to describe the use of html and css) and then hire another master of Javascript and another master of PHP and mysql and so on and so on but as you can tell already, this can get extremely crowded (if your working out of the comfort of your own house) and extremely costly. The more web programmers you have, the more ideas you have floating back and forth, and the more work you can distribute between programmers.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)- SEO's are very useful when you want better traffic to come through your search engines, I am not familiar too much with SEO but the whole idea behind it is to add things like meta tags to your code so the "web crawlers" or the algorithms that the web engines use to see what pops up on which key words work. I heard a guy talking about how he made a beautiful web-site that was user friendly but it want search engine friendly, and you can have the best website in the world but if there is no traffic then it was worthless. Your SEO should know a little bit about everything. If you have a web master on board then make sure he learns about SEO also and how it works, once he masters SEO then your team is golden.

Another job that you should appoint someone once the traffic starts rolling in and ad's start generating money, is appointing a CFO or a Chief Financial Officer. Now the CFO will obviously handle the money side of the website, like what money goes to which account and the ideas of expansion and where to and especially getting VC's or Venture Capitalists. VC's are people with lots of money that invest in small business's that they think will turn a profit. These people will give you money for an office, computers, monitors, servers, whatever you need in return for either an interest rate, shares (an ownership of the company) or a stake (a ownership AND say in the company)
