A well-constructed site also has a huge amount of work put in to its design and functionality. Its a job that requires a lot of discretion, compromise, and adapting to the best interests of the users… all things which aren’t necessarily obvious. So really, there’s at least three absolutely vital job areas:

• Backend and maintenance
• Ongoing site design
• Moderation and PR

It’s so, so easy to underestimate how much and varied the work is going to be when you’re high on enthusiasm.
