French term or phrase: Responsable et éditeur du site
Hi, I'm trying to find an English equivalent to a "responsable et éditeur du site". My first thought was "webmaster" but apparently this translates to "webmestre" in French.
Suggestions welcome.

Website manager and publisher
Explanation:
Depends a bit on exactly what this person's rôle is; are they in fact perhaps the owner (in which case, say so)?

And as for 'éditeur', famously ambiguous in FR! May just be the publisher, but could also be the actual editor — again, the best way would really be to check exactly what this person does? Obviously, if it's the name of a company etc., then it must be 'publisher'.

In the light of Asker's additional context, and the comments below, I feel that 'website publisher' alone would probably be the best solution in this instance.

agree  Carolingua: I thought in French when they use "éditeur", in an Internet/software context, it means writer/author or programmer. At least in the US, I haven't seen the term "website editor", except when they actually mean webmaster (person making updates/changes).

agree  rkillings: 'website publisher' alone would probably do. It's the publisher who is liable for what's on it.:-) Carolingua: a website (in this context) is "content", not "software".
