The final product is never an isolated event, but a combination of different factors that contribute to it. In this context, although the overall result, in objective terms, has been the realization of the Website Polistrade much happened until the construction of it. It was a task that involved research, planning and daily reflection. We have focused our research on specific aspects of the theme of website design such as usability, navigation and ergonomics. Under the desired balance between graphic design and usability, we developed concepts like interfaces and information architecture. Backed by the research that we describe later in detail, the steps that led to the achievement of the objective of the internship.

Full textSammanfattningAtt ta fingeravtryck av en hemsida innebär att identifiera vilka teknologier som enhemsida använder, såsom dess webbapplikationer och JavaScript-ramverk.Nuvarande metoder för att göra fingeravtryckningar av hemsidor använder sig avmanuellt skapade fingeravtryck för varje teknologi som de letar efter. Dessafingeravtryck består av flera textsträngar som matchas mot HTTP-svar frånhemsidor. Att skapa fingeravtryck kan vara en tidskrävande process vilketbegränsar vilka teknologier som fingeravtryck kan skapas för. Den här rapportenpresenterar en potentiell lösning genom att utnyttja oövervakademaskininlärningstekniker för att klustra hemsidor efter vilka webbapplikationeroch JavaScript-ramverk som används, utan att manuellt skapa fingeravtryck. Dettauppnås genom att använda flera ordvektormodeller tillsammans meddimensionalitetreducerings-tekniken t-SNE och klustringsalgoritmen OPTICS.Resultatet visar att vissa teknologier, till exempel Drupal, får en precision på 0,731och en recall på 0,485 utan någon träningsdata. Detta leder till slutsatsen att denföreslagna lösningen möjligtvis kan användas för att klustra hemsidor efter dewebbapplikationer och JavaScript-ramverk som används. Men mera arbete behövsför att öka precision och recall av resultaten.NyckelordKlustring, fingeravtryckning, OPTICS, t-SNE, huvudlös webbläsare, ordvektor,oövervakad maskininlärnin g

Full textThe purpose of this quantitative non-experimental study was to extend and enhance the growing body of research related to electronic commerce by examining the relative importance of content, ease-of-use, promotion, made-for-the-medium, and emotion elements of manufacturer’s representatives’ websites from the perspectives of site users, and to determine if the relative importance of these website elements varies as a function of occupational category. As these things are currently unknown, manufacturer’s representatives do not currently understand how to apply these critical elements to create a successful web presence. In this study, participants consisted of 90 graduates from four year accredited programs having earned a degree related to the art or science of illumination with a minimum of 5 years involvement in the lighting industry. The mean for content (M = 38.34, SD = 13.45) and ease-of-use (M = 34.17, SD = 12.96) indicated they were the most important website elements. Substantially lower means were found for emotion (M = 7.23, SD = 6.30) and promotion (M = 7.40, SD = 6.55) as well as made for the medium (M = 12.86, SD = 8.48) indicating these website elements to be less important. The mean ratings for the five website elements as a function of occupational group indicate little variation between the occupational groups in terms of the relative importance of the five website elements. Content and Ease-of-use were rated as more important than Promotion, Made for the Medium, and Emotion for all five occupational groups. The findings of this research suggest future research is needed taking industry specific contexts into account. In order to accomplish this, future research could be performed on a larger scale, with multiple industries. As the Internet continues to evolve, more research will be needed to evaluate how new technologies will affect the design of websites, and the effect on website element importance. Future research could also examine the relationship of industry, income, age, gender, or other demographics to website element preference. Research relating to the application of existing theory in an electronic commerce context is also an area for future research.
Mahmoud, Siham Mukhtar. "Evaluating and enhancing websites : a case study of an Eritrean state owned media website - shabait.com." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/49952.
Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Ministry of Information of Eritrea is basically aimed at providing the society with news, information, education and entertainment. In addition to its service presentation through radio, TV and printed press the Ministry of Information has taken the initiative to present its services in the digital way by publishing a website known as shabait.com. But as the technique is new to the country as well as to the organization, it is to be expected that there will be inaccuracies in the way the website was designed. Hence, evaluating and redesigning shabait.com with the goal of making it informative, attractive and easy to use will be very beneficial to the organization as well as to users of the website. This recently launched website is not very attractive and not successfully directed to its users. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to assess and find the best way of presenting information digitally to the Eritrean society, as well as to anyone interested in finding out about Eritrea through the State owned media website. This study was firstly approached by gathering previously written relevant information from books, journals, and the Internet. In addition to that interviews with concerned people in Eritrea were held to understand the aim, difficulties and challenges of the website. Subsequently the website was assessed according to the evaluation criteria developed, based on the literature review. The evaluation of the website assumed three different approaches of qualitative as well as quantitative types. A usability test with both quantitative and qualitative questions was done through a questionnaire, which was analyzed statistically. A competitive analysis, of qualitative type with two international websites was also made. In order to create a good quality website, it is essential to have clearly specified goals, policies and strategies, and adequate advanced human as well as technological resources, so that it will be easy to overcome the common challenges such as competition, diversity of users, budget constraints, and inadequacy of policy instruments. The findings of the evaluation of shabait.com indicate that the website is not attractive, is user unfriendly, of low content quality as well as with low download speed and, more importantly, was not advertised well. Therefore, shabait.com is not fit to be considered as a sole first hand information provider website for the Eritrean society as well as for anybody who is concerned about Eritrea. At the end of the study recommendations of how the website can be modified to be successful are listed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelwit van die Ministerie van Inligting van Eritrea is om nuus, inligting, opvoeding en vermaak aan die gemeenskap te verskaf. Bykomend tot die radio, TV en die gedrukte media, het die Ministerie van Inligting nou ook besluit om 'n digitale diens te lewer deur middel van 'n webwerf bekend as shabait.com. Aangesien die betrokke tegnieke vir die land sowel as vir die organisasie iets nuuts is, kan daar verwag word dat die ontwerp van die webwerf onakkuraathede sal toon. Dus moet shabait.com evalueer en verbeter word om dit sodoende aantreklik en gebruikersvriendelik te maak; dit sal tot die voordeel strek van die organisasie so wel as die gebruikers. Hierdie jong webwerf is tans nie baie aantreklik of maklik om te gebruik nie. Dus is die doelwit van hierdie studie om die beste wyses te vind om die gemeenskap van Eritrea, sowel as ander belangstellendes, deur middel van 'n webwerf wat deur die staat beheer word, digitaal van inligting te bedien. Relevante geskrewe inligting is bekom deur middel van boeke, joernale en die Internet. Daar is ook onderhoude gevoer met mense betrokke by shabait.com om sodoende die doelwitte, probleme en uitdagings van die webwerf beter te verstaan. Daarna is die webwerf evalueer volgens ontwikkelde kriteria gebaseer op die literatuuroorsig. Vir die evaluasie is drie benaderings gebruik, beide kwalitatief en kwantitatief. 'n Bruikbaarheidstoets is deur middel van 'n vraelys gedoen met kwalitatiewe sowel as kwantitatiewe vrae en die antwoorde is statisties ontleed. Twee internasionale webwerwe is ook ontleed sodat hulle gehalte met dié van shabait.com vergelyk kon word. Om 'n webwerf van goeie gehalte te ontwerp, is dit noodsaaklik om duidelik omskrewe doelwitte, beleide en stategië, asook genoegsaam opgeleide mense en gevorderde tegnologiese hulpbronne te hê sodat die uitdagings soos kompetisie, verskeidenheid van gebruikers, begrotingsbeperkings en swak beleidsinstrumente oorkom kan word. Die bevindinge van die evaluasie van shabait.com toon dat die webwerf onaantreklik en gebruikersonvriendelik is, die inhoud is van swak gehalte, die aflaai spoed is laag en en die werf is nie goed adverteer nie. Daarom is die werf nie geskik om beskou te word as die enigste eerstehandse inligtingsverskaffer webwerf vir die gemeenskap van Eritrea sowel as ander belangstellendes nie. Aan die einde van die studie is daar aanbevelings vir die verbetering van die webwerf.

Full textMalicious websites have become a big cyber threat. Given that malicious websites are inevitable, we need good solutions for detecting them. The present dissertation makes three contributions that are centered on addressing the malicious websites problem. First, it presents a novel cross-layer method for detecting malicious websites, which essentially exploits the network-layer "lens" to expose more information about malicious websites. Evaluation based on some real data shows that cross-layer detection is about 50 times faster than the dynamic approach, while achieving almost the same detection effectiveness (in terms of accuracy, false -negative rate, and false-positive rate). Second, it presents a novel proactive detection method to deal with adaptive attacks that can be exploited to evade the static detection approach. By formulating a novel security model, it characterizes when proactive detection can achieve significant success against adaptive attacks. Third, it presents statistical characteristics on the evolution of malicious websites. The characteristics offer deeper understanding about the threat of malicious websites.

Since the early 2000s, Internet users have continuously fallen prey to the perils of identity theft and malware . A number of tools have been proposed and implemented to foster trust towards deserving websites and alert users of undeserving websites, including P3P and trust seals. Each of these has fallen short, with studies showing that users simply do not use them. TrustVoucher is a prototype system o forge bonds of trust between users and websites by automatically determining if the website is backed by a trusted third party. Inspiration is taken from the real life way of trusting businesses, in which one aggregates recommendations by friends. TrustVoucher protects users who are attentive to its messages by informing them of sites who have put forth the effort to be endorsed by a trusted third party. An experimental study was performed on the effectiveness of the chosen interface for doing this, and determined that users did not consistently trust the recommendations of TrustVoucher, so future work will explore options for gathering the trust of users to distribute among websites.

Full textThe Internet has undergone a tremendous evolution during the past five years. Since 1995, consumer-catalog websites have not only come into being, but have become important business and consumer tools. Despite the upsurge and importance of these websites, it is difficult to find freely available tools that help website developers make important decisions regarding the content of these websites.
In this pilot study, I analyze a small sample of websites to compare the features of high-ranked and low-ranked consumer-catalog websites. The purpose of this research is twofold: to determine whether it is possible to pinpoint which features are exhibited by high-ranked and low-ranked websites and to present a tool that could simplify making decisions about certain content-related features.
I found that there are, indeed, differences between the content-related features of high-ranked and low-ranked websites. Some features are found more often in high-ranked websites than in low-ranked websites: longer, reader-based product descriptions; humor; certain types of company-related information (investor, staff, and employment information); consistent page design; consistent navigational patterns; sound; specific types of peripheral documents; alternate-language formats; sales incentives (discounts, bestsellers, advertising space, affiliate programs, and gift certificates). Following is a list of the features that are found more often in low-ranked websites than in high-ranked websites: product descriptions that are brief and jargon-laden; inconsistent page design; splash screens; inconsistent navigational patterns; fewer instances of peripheral documents and alternate-language formats than high-ranked sites; and fewer instances of sales incentives than high-ranked sites (discounts, bestsellers, and free product giveaways). I also found that it likely would be possible to develop the sort of tool described above. Implications for further research are also discussed.

Full textE-commerce is considered an excellent alternative for companies to reach new customers. However, many e-commerce websites have a short life because they don t meet the minimal software quality requirements. To help the development of quality e-commerce websites, this work identifies and ranks the main quality attributes to this application domain. The survey of the attributes was based on the specialized literature and on the analysis of significant national and international websites. Research was undertaken, with developers and users, to rank the quality attributes and the results were obtained from a software quality evaluation model. The analysis of these results will help developers to implement quality e-commerce solutions.
O comércio eletrônico está sendo considerado como uma alternativa valiosa para a ampliação de mercados por parte das empresas. No entanto, muitos websites de comércio eletrônico têm tido um tempo de vida breve, por não atenderem a um conjunto mínimo de requisitos de qualidade de software. Para auxiliar no desenvolvimento de websites de comércio eletrônico de qualidade, este trabalho identifica e hierarquiza atributos de qualidade de maior relevância para este domínio de aplicação. O levantamento dos atributos foi baseado em literatura especializada, bem como na análise de renomados websites nacionais e internacionais. Realizou-se, ainda, uma pesquisa de campo, com desenvolvedores e usuários finais, visando a hierarquização desses atributos de qualidade, cujos resultados foram obtidos através de um modelo de avaliação da qualidade de software. O estudo e análise desses resultados fornecem subsídios para a construção de soluções de comércio eletrônico de qualidade.

Full textThe term “diversity” was popularized in Justice Powell’s opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which identified the benefits of a diverse student body as a compelling state interest. Forty years after Bakke, deep inequities remain in higher education and racist events occur with regularity on college campuses (“Campus Racial Incidents : The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education,” n.d.). Institutions continue to struggle to address student concerns and a significant gap remains between students and administrators on the topic of diversity and inclusion. Because the public website is the face of the university to the world and the most powerful platform for conveying institutional values, goals, and priorities, representations of diversity on university webpages are potent statements about how institutions address these topics (Snider & Martin, 2012). Jesuit universities in particular have a 500-year tradition in education that is founded on a deep respect for cultural difference, making them an excellent choice for a study on diversity (O’Malley, 2014). This exploratory qualitative study utilizes Critical Discourse Analysis to examine how diversity is characterized on Jesuit higher education websites. The 28 Jesuit higher education institutions in the United States were analyzed during two time periods using a framework combining elements of Fairclough (2003) and McGregor (2014). The data were interpreted through the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT), which posits that racism continues to be endemic and omnipresent in the United States. CRT scholarship on microaggressions, whiteness, and colorblindness is a foundational element of this analysis Based on this analysis, institutions were placed in an adapted model of diversity development based on Williams (2013). While respecting cultural difference and care for the marginalized is at the core of the Jesuit mission, translating this to an inclusive diversity web presence has presented challenges for institutions. In this study, just 3 of the 28 Jesuit higher education institutions attained the most advanced stage—Inclusive Excellence. Few Jesuit institutions placed diversity at the core of the mission or maintained cohesive and powerful diversity messaging across the website. This study found instances where imagery, prose, and information architecture issues reinforced hegemonic norms and objectified individuals. This analysis concludes with diversity website content recommendations for administrators, communications professionals, and faculty who seek to be inclusive rather than alienate, deconstruct hegemonic norms rather than reinforce them, and balance marketing goals with campus authenticity

This report investigates how American art museums have adopted interactive technologies on their websites. The use of such technologies brings to the forefront a tension regarding authority over visitors’ experience of and interpretation of art both in person and online. Interactive tools on 15 art museum websites were coded as enabling one of three types of interaction: human-to-computer, human-to-human and human-to-content. Human-to-computer interactive features were most prevalent on museum websites, followed by human-to-human and human-to-content interactive technologies respectively. The findings demonstrate a tension between the goals of art museums in wanting to engage visitors in co-creation of meaning about art on the one hand and wanting to maintain their traditional authority over that meaning on the other. The report concludes by offering recommendations for how museums can use interactive technologies more effectively in order to maintain their role as centers of social and cultural life.

Full textCom o rápido desenvolvimento da web e da importância dos websites na vida dos utilizadores, a personalização tornou-se uma prática comum e uma estratégia fundamental para o sucesso de um website. Os websites têm de ser capazes de oferecer serviços personalizados, onde as necessidades e preferências de cada utilizador sejam tidas em conta na interação com o sistema. De forma a ir de encontro a estas necessidades e assim aumentar a satisfação dos utilizadores, os websites podem utilizar técnicas, ou estratégias, que procurem criar um estado de empatia para com o utilizador criando uma experiência mais pessoal e dinâmica. Com este estudo, pretende-se perceber quais as estratégias empáticas mais adequadas para diferentes tipologias de websites. Paralelamente, pretende-se analisar as características essenciais para um website com o foco na relevância da personalização e por último perceber a perspetiva dos utilizadores em relação às estratégias empáticas. Com a recolha dos dados, através de um inquérito, foi possível identificar as estratégias mais adequadas para cada tipologia, assim como a personalização que mostrou ser um fator determinante. Foi possível extrair 4 fatores da análise fatorial que permitem resumir os resultados encontrados nas estratégias empáticas. Quanto à perspetiva dos utilizadores em relação às estratégias empáticas, ficou demonstrado que devem ser feitas melhorias em algumas destas estratégias, contudo, os benefícios e vantagens que estas podem trazer também são claras para os utilizadores, isto apesar de haver ainda algum desconhecimento de alguns conceitos mencionados neste projeto.
With the rapid development of the web and of the importance of websites in user's lives, personalization became a common practice and a key strategy for the success of a website. Websites need to be able to offer personalized services where user's needs and preferences are taken into account when interacting with the system. In order to meet these needs and increase user satisfaction, websites can use certain techniques, or strategies, to create a state of empathy with the user giving them a more personal and dynamic experience. With this study we intend to understand which empathic strategies are more suitable for different types of websites. Simultaneously we intend to analyse the essential features to a website with the focus being on the importance of personalization and finally understand the user's perception on empathic strategies. With the survey it was possible to identify the most suitable strategies for each type of website, as well as the conclusion that personalization proved to be an important factor for websites. The factor analysis lead to the identification of 4 factors that could be used to summarize the results on the empathic strategies. Regarding the users perspective towards the empathic strategies, it became clear that there is still improvements to be made in some of these strategies, however, the benefits and advantages that they can bring are also clear to the users, even though there are still some lack of knowledge in some of the concepts that are mentioned in this project.

Full textDark patterns är en typ av användarupplevelse och konverterande design där man med hjälp av psykologi och kunskap inom mänskligt beteende skapat en design som möjliggör att du tar ogynnsamma beslut som du annars inte hade tagit. Ett av de områden som dark patterns har kommit att användas på är e-handelshemsidor. Denna studie syftar till att ta reda på vilken typ av dark patterns som används på svenska shoppinghemsidor, hur ofta de förekommer, samt få en förståelse för hur människor som jobbar inom branschen ser på fenomenet. För att göra detta har en taxonomi baserat på tidigare arbeten inom dark patterns tagits fram. Denna taxonomi har sedan fått utgöra grunden för den manuella undersökning av de 96 största svenska e-handelshemsidorna som gjorts. Resultatet visade på att Hidden Costs, Low Stock Messages, Misdirections, och Activity Messages var de allra mest frekvent förekommande dark patterns på dessa hemsidor. Intervjuerna visade även på att folk inom branschen är medvetna om att dark patterns används och ser det inte som något stort problem att man på e-handelshemsidor försöker påverka kunden till att ta särskilda beslut, så länge man inte direkt använder sig av falska uppgifter. Med denna rapport bidrar vi med insikter hur dark patterns används inom Sverige på e-handelshemsidor och därmed också för att öka medvetenheten om tvingande design och effekterna av den.

Full textEsta dissertação pretende identificar os fatores críticos de sucesso em parques temáticos e o modo como estes fatores são explorados na promoção dos parques através dos seus websites. No âmbito do Turismo, a importância dos parques temáticos tem vindo, em geral, a aumentar. A Internet tem assumido uma grande relevância a nível da promoção turística nos últimos tempos, apresentando-se como uma nova oportunidade para os parques temáticos captarem o interesse do consumidor. Com base na revisão da literatura identificaram-se os fatores de sucesso dos parques temáticos e analisaram-se as oportunidades oferecidas pela Internet ao nível da promoção do turismo. Procedeu-se a uma investigação empírica com o objetivo de estudar a promoção a nível dos websites dos parques temáticos mais visitados da Europa, em 2012. Foi feita uma análise do conteúdo dos websites através da contabilização de palavras-chave relacionadas com fatores críticos de sucesso previamente identificadas na revisão da literatura. Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo permitiram identificar o ‘tema’ como o fator de sucesso mais proeminente nos websites dos parques temáticos, seguido das ‘atrações’, ‘preço’ e ‘emoções’. Os fatores com menor evidência ao longo dos websites foram o ‘staff’ e a ‘segurança’. O presente estudo fornece orientações importantes para os responsáveis pela promoção dos parques temáticos, nomeadamente, no que concerne à promoção dos parques através de websites.
This dissertation aims to identify the critical success factors in theme parks and the way these factors are explored in the promotion of these parks through websites. In general, the importance of theme parks in the scope of tourism is increasing. Nowadays, the Internet has assumed a great relevance in the tourism promotion, presenting itself as an opportunity for theme parks to capture the consumers’ interest. Based on a literature review the success factors of the theme parks were identified and the opportunities offered by the Internet in the scope of tourism promotion were analyzed. An empirical research aimed to analyze the promotion through the websites of the most visited theme parks in Europe in 2012, was carried out. A content analysis of the websites was performed by counting words related to success factors previously selected based on the literature review. The results obtained in this study identified the ‘theme’ as the most prominent success factor in the theme parks’ websites, followed by ‘attractions’, ‘price’ and ‘emotions’. The factors with less relevance were the ‘staff’ and ‘security’. The present study provides important guidelines for those responsible for the promotion of theme parks, namely, as far as the promotion of theme parks through websites is concerned.

A popularidade da Internet tornou a rede um dos melhores meios para a disponibilização de serviços públicos. De fácil acesso, rápida e de baixo custo, as informações jurídicas explodiram na grande rede mundial. No entanto, freqüentemente o usuário encontra-se desorientado no meio de tantos dados inúteis e pouco sistematizados. O aumento nos últimos anos do número de websites on-line do Poder Judiciário Brasileiro provocou a necessidade de desenvolver mecanismos capazes de coletar a experiência do usuário no uso destes websites, de modo a obter dados para melhorar a interação entre as partes envolvidas. Este trabalho aborda o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia específica para a avaliação de websites do Poder Judiciário Brasileiro. São apresentados os resultados da aplicação deste método bem como uma comparação com os dados obtidos no primeiro ensaio avaliativo realizado em 1999. Com forte embasamento teórico e sinérgico de várias áreas do Conhecimento, associado a opinião dos usuários, este processo tem legitimidade e competência para criar um ranking dos melhores websites segundo sete quesitos, estimulando o uso da tecnologia para o exercício das profissões jurídicas.

Frente ao avanço das tecnologias que colaboram para a garantia do acesso à informação, é crescente a criação de websites de unidades de informação, inclusive de arquivos. No ambiente web, a usabilidade pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento de uma interface amigável, eliminando assim barreiras entre o usuário e o website e/ou sistema. Nessa perspectiva, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo principal a elaboração de uma ferramenta de avaliação de usabilidade de website de arquivos. Desenvolve um checklist especializado nas questões de usabilidade e avalia a homepage dos websites de arquivos dos países da América. Verifica a relação dos resultados da avaliação de usabilidade dos websites dos arquivos nacionais com o PIB per capta e o IDH dos países que compõe o continente americano. A aplicação do checklist proposto pela presente pesquisa permitiu o desenvolvimento de um ranking de avaliação de usabilidade. Dentre os resultados obtidos, constatou-se a ocorrência de problemas de usabilidade em todas as homepages dos websites dos arquivos nacionais pesquisados. Além disso, foi possível comprovar que não há relação entre a riqueza ou desenvolvimento de um país com a usabilidade das homepages dos websites dos Arquivos Nacionais dos referidos países. De maneira geral, foi possível contribuir com uma ferramenta de avaliação de usabilidade que pode ser utilizado em websites de arquivo por profissionais de diversas áreas, englobando tanto as questões de usabilidade geral, quanto aos aspectos específicos dos arquivos.

Full textSpecific Aims: To evaluate and describe the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) affiliated practice-based research network (PBRN) websites to determine the best qualities regarding format, content, and accessibility using a developed PBRN website information extraction form. Methods: A PBRN information extraction form was developed to assess the format, content, and accessibility of each AHRQ-affiliated PBRN website. Each student investigator completed an electronic copy of the extraction form for each PBRN website to confirm consistency of findings. A phone interview was then conducted with the webmasters of the PBRNs with the highest scores to determine the influences and challenges those webmasters faced during the development of their PBRN websites. Main Results: The information extraction form was completed for each of the 104 active PBRN websites in the U.S. The most common elements seen on the PBRN websites were site map, email address, mission statement, phone number, and search toolbar. The inter-rater agreement between the two student investigators for the data collected was 84 percent. Regarding the webmaster interviews, the majority of the webmasters believed that the single most important factor in creating a successful PBRN website was identifying the audience of the PBRN and making the material appropriate for that audience. Conclusion: The developed information extraction form was used to successfully evaluate and describe the AHRQ-affiliated PBRN websites. Audience identification is important in order to provide appropriate content, as well as in the development of an effective PBRN website.
