Yeah I kinda thought that the web content developer could be the writer of the content of the site, but I thought it may be more of a programmer because here in Australia, that's what they usually say.....here, developer usually means programmer.... but of course it's all open to interpretation and depends on the job desciption really doesnt it?
The web content developer could even be the person who writes the code to dynamically display the content - that would be my guess at what they mean by that job title...... And yes I agree with everyone else, one person could do both jobs, as long as they have some artistic flair to do the designing of the web site part.
