One of the surprising results of the survey was that for both Psychology and History departments, there was a bimodal distribution in terms of faculty experience. Webmasters were either fairly new faculty, or senior members of the department. I'll be exploring these in more detail. I would reword this question if I had it to do all over again. The overwhelming consensus on departmental benefit was that the website was good for advertising the program and answering basic questions that used to be answered by phone calls.
Departmental efforts are clearly an individual effort.
Some were very overt in suggesting one needs to enjoy something like this to make it worthwhile. More explanation to come soon.
