The Web Managers Podcast
by Bryan C. Mills
The Web Managers Podcast is the audio field guide for accidental web managers: the office managers, founders, nonprofit volunteers, and career-changers who became responsible for an organization's web presence because they were "good with technology." Each episode takes one domain of the job, defines it in plain English, names the honest tradeoffs, and ends with one task the listener can finish before the end of the day. Hosted by Bryan C. Mills, working consultant and author of Strategic Web Management, the show extends the book's promise: encouragement on every page, and a path of action to go with it. No code required; no hype included.

Security for Non-Security People
This year, host Bryan Mills has cleaned up multiple hacked WordPress sites, including one where a single outdated plugin handed the attacker a file manager: open any file, write straight to the database. Here's what the attacker knew about that organization before striking: nothing. A bot read a...

Content Strategy and the Maintenance Calendar
Last year, host Bryan Mills audited a client site whose homepage still read, "Coming in 2008. We'll see you soon!" On another project he found a pitch page for a co-founder who had left roughly fifteen years earlier, still pulling traffic, because Google never stopped sending people there. Both...

Design, Mobile, and Accessibility Basics
Around 2008, host Bryan Mills sat down with a nonprofit whose own board member could not use the organization's website: a screen reader met a site with no image descriptions and no way to reach the menu without a mouse. Nobody had locked him out on purpose. Nobody ever does it on purpose. That...

Choosing Your Platform Without Regret
Most "platform problems" are content, maintenance, or strategy problems wearing a disguise, and switching platforms moves the disguise, not the problem. The stale pages board the moving truck; the invoice runs four figures. Host Bryan Mills speaks from experience: he built more than five hundred...

Hosting Without the Headaches
How long can your website be down before it starts to cost you money? That question, not the feature list, is how to shop for hosting, and its twin is harder: if the site vanished this afternoon, how much recent work could you afford to lose forever? Host Bryan Mills walks the building your…

Domains: Your Most Important Digital Property
A mismanaged domain takes down more than your website. It takes down your email, your trust signals, and your organization's public name, all in one stroke, and it can hand all three to a stranger. Host Bryan Mills has watched a Fortune 500 company spend thousands buying back its own name over a...

The Web Account Inventory: Do This First
Nearly every web account audit finds the same three things: an orphaned account, an unknown auto-renewal, and an ex-employee who still has admin access. Every organization believes it's the exception. Almost none of them are. This is the episode host Bryan Mills would have you hear first: the web...

Congratulations, You're the Web Manager Now
"You're good with technology, right?" Six words in a hallway, and suddenly the website, the email, the domain, and a dozen mystery logins are yours. This episode is the job description nobody wrote down. Host Bryan Mills explains why the role lands on people by accident, and why the accidental…

The Job Nobody Applied For
Somewhere in your organization right now, there is a login nobody remembers creating, a renewal charging a card nobody reconciles, and a website everyone depends on and no one officially owns. If you recently became the person responsible for all of it, this episode is your front door. Host Bryan...

Trailer: You Inherited the Website. Now What?
Somewhere in your organization right now, there is a login nobody remembers creating, a renewal quietly charging a card nobody reconciles, and a website everyone depends on and no one officially owns. If that sounds familiar, this show is for you. The Web Managers Podcast is the plain-English…
