WOW Member Benefits
- Web Professional Education. Education is one of the key areas for webmasters. Due to the Internet’s rapid evolution into electronic commerce and full-featured information delivery system, webmasters are having to learn a whole new range of skills. WOW will provide for its member’s professional education through its strategic alliances with multiple academic and Internet training institutions, offering discounts on world renowned training programs and conferences.
- On-line Training. Not everyone is in a position to avail themselves of professional training courses. Online training will be provided by both self-study tutorials on the Association Web Site and by a set of links to organizations that provide quality education materials. Those who desire the self-study approach will find the necessary information here to improve skills and learn new techniques. In addition, our website will keep on top of the latest breaking news of interest to webmasters.
- Web Professional Certification Program. The World Organization of Webmasters has developed a certification program that combines relevant education with an examination assuring professional competency.
- Affordable E&O Insurance. Web-based litigation is on the rise. Recent lawsuits involving Internet copyright infringements have established the need for Error and Omission Insurance (E&O) for webmasters and others offering information on the Net. Error and Omission Insurance offers webmasters liability insurance to protect them against lawsuits that have traditionally been brought against print publishers but are now increasingly targeted at online content providers.
- Employment Information. An Employment Information Section will provide member information on prospective positions of employment. Our corporate members will be able to use this service to offer employment opportunities to webmasters worldwide.
- Webmaster Tools and Techniques. Webmasters are increasingly being called upon to develop more sophisticated web sites, and to produce them more quickly. In response to this demand a wide variety of new software-development tools have come on the market. The World Organization of Webmasters will provide its members with information of the latest developments in this area, including comparative reviews.
- Members Advantage Program. The World Organization of Webmasters is currently working with many internationally recognized corporations to offer discounts to our members. This includes reduced rates for our members on magazine subscriptions, telecommunications, insurance, software, hardware, and much more.
