Zusammenfassung:A method for enforcing workflow process for website development and maintenance (104). Development and maintenance of a website may include the concerted efforts of plural person (102). So that the work progresses in a predictable and orderly fashion, tasks are assigned and performed in accordance with a workflow. The workflow is a serial order, in parallel with each other or in combinations of serial and parallel. To enforce a particula r workflow, the present invention provides an environment that constrains work to progress according to the workflow. An administrator (120), such as a "webmaster", develops a workflow file that dictates how the efforts of users (or "contributors") should progress. Accordingly, the webmaster has increase d control over the processes by which the website is developed and updated. As a result, website development proceeds efficiently even where many persons are involved in the effort (124).
