Content developers and web developers

When the World Wide Web] began, web developer]s either generated content themselves, or took existing document]s and coded them into hypertext markup language (HTML]). In time, the field of web site development came to encompass many technologies, so it became difficult for web site developers to maintain so many different skills. Content developers are specialized web site developers who have mastered content generation skills. They can integrate content into new or existing web sites, but they may not have skills such as script language programming, database programming and graphic design.

Content developers may also be search engine optimisation specialists, or Internet marketing professionals.

Search engine optimisation specialists commonly submit content to Article Directories to build their website's authority on any given topic. Most Article Directories allow visitors to republish submitted content with the agreement that all links are maintained. This has become a method of Search Engine Optimisation for many websites today. If written according to SEO copywriting rules, the submitted content will bring benefits to the publisher (free SEO-friendly content for a webpage) as well as to the author (a hyperlink] pointing to his/her website, placed on a SEO-friendly webpage).
