I saw the term used here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11293323<p>It said the "web content developers" didn't know JS, only HTML and CSS. I'm curious: What do "web content developers" do where they can get by without JS?
So we have a guy working for us in this role, they take word documents containing training modules and enter then into an e-learning system we developed for a client. Its mostly entering text, EXML tags for interactive content, and the odd bit of styling (there should be little CSS involved in this as there is a global content stylesheet but sometimes there are edge cases)<p>I recently finished a bunch of upgrades that parse DocX files, rips out the contents list, pre-fills the structure in the system, auto-imports all image assets and an extra utility that individually rips tables out of the DocX file and converts them to HTML. This was all to speed them up a bit.<p>On top of content entry you are required to do a lot of proof-reading and review work to make sure what you have entered is faithful to the document and generally correct.
Typically they'll basically be a markup resource. IE: I have a ton of documents in one format, and I need them to be translated to clean HTML.<p>The other thing that may be needed in this position is actual content development skills, ie: writing. You could be responsible for doing blog posts, pages on websites, marketing copy, etc.<p>"Web content developer" would also be the lowest paid position in an agency typically. The salary ladder goes "web content|web maintenance/support" > "front-end|SEO|social/marketing" > "back-end|fullstack" > "management" > "ownership" in my experience.
