webmaster
A person who is responsible for the technical and often also content-related support, maintenance, and administration of a website.
Bei technischen Problemen mit der Seite wenden Sie sich bitte an den Webmaster.
If you have technical problems with the site, please contact the webmaster.
'Webmaster' is a loanword from English, made up of 'Web' (for the World Wide Web) and 'Master' (master, administrator). It is used in German with the same meaning as in English.
Der erste Webmaster des Unternehmens war auch dessen Gründer.
The company's first webmaster was also its founder.
Typical phrases are 'sich an den Webmaster wenden' (to contact the webmaster) or 'den Webmaster kontaktieren' (to contact the webmaster), usually when there is a problem with a website.
Ich muss den Webmaster kontaktieren, weil ein Link auf der Seite nicht funktioniert.
I need to contact the webmaster because a link on the site isn't working.
This word is a job title from the field of information technology (IT). Even though more specific titles exist today, it is still understood as referring to the person responsible for a website.
In kleineren Firmen ist der Webmaster oft für alles von Design bis Technik zuständig.
In smaller companies, the webmaster is often responsible for everything from design to technology.
admin
Both words can refer to a person who looks after a website. Admin is the more general term for technical administrative rights, including in systems or on platforms; Webmaster specifically refers to the technical and often content-related maintenance of a website. For access rights, „Admin“ is more appropriate; for the ongoing maintenance of a website, „Webmaster“ fits better.
Der Webmaster aktualisiert die Texte und Bilder auf der Vereinswebsite.
The webmaster updates the text and images on the club’s website.
Der Admin des Forums vergibt die Zugriffsrechte für neue Mitglieder.
The forum admin assigns access rights to new members.
