Plan 

Teams shouldn t include more than eight people: sociologists have found that humans 

tend to work best in groups of two to eight. A five-person Web team should be able to 

build and maintain a site of around 250-2500 pages. 

If your organization s site will contain enough content for many thousands of pages or 

grow to that size distribute the work among several teams. Each team can work on one 

or more of the site s main sections.  

Site Coordinator 

5,000 page  

Corporate  

Web Site

Team I Coordinator 

Team II Coordinator 

Products section 

Services section 

(2500 pages) 

(2500 pages) 

When operating multiple teams, one person from outside the teams should be responsible 

for the entire site. Just as a newspaper has an Editor-In-Chief with final say on what gets 

printed in the Sports or World News pages, a Web Site needs a Site Coordinator 

responsible for integrating the work of individual teams. Each team should then have its 

own coordinator.
