How the Web Is Different
• Simple mid-1990s Web sites
    – Conveyed basic business information
    – No market research conducted
• Web objectives achievement
    – Failed due to no understanding for Web
      presence-building media
• Web sites designed to create an
  organization’s presence:
    – Contain links to standard information set
    – Success dependent on how this information
      offered

Looks are very important, BUT the
 least important consideration in
         web development
That doesn’t mean ugly sites are
              OK
Sites must look professional and
     demonstrate credibility
If these two goals are met, the user
           will be satisfied.
Remember, they are looking to
 achieve a goal – not look at a
       piece of artwork.
