An emerging model of Web site design for marketing

Open access
Palmer, Jonathan W., Griffith, David A.·1998·Communications of the ACM

Abstract

The Web has created a new revolution in marketing by providing much more than just a new medium through which organizations can communicate with the public. The main contention here is that the impact of this new technology on an organization's Web-based marketing activities and its Website design are driven by the interaction among the firm's market offering, marketing activities and technical characteristics. This study examines corporate Web sites to analyze the use of these sites to support marketing activities including promotional activities, sales, service, and support. In addition, the technical dimensions of Web sites are examined in detail. The model supported in this article suggests a series of guidelines and strategic managerial considerations. The organization needs to recognize that Web site design is determined by the interaction between the firm's marketing functions and technological characteristics. Other factors, such as the level of consumer involvement, information search costs, and innovation in technology might also play a role in Web site design. Additionally, high involvement products would be less likely to be sold online.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
