“…For these characteristics to be equivalent for purposes of comparison (i.e., equiparable), it was first necessary to assign them a weight according to their relevance for retrieval of any requested information. To this end, we chose a range of weights from −0.5 to 0.3, with, positive weights corresponding to those that were considered desirable characteristics and negative weights to those considered undesirable characteristics, and varied the values to make the results equiparable (a complete justification of the values is given in Faba‐Pérez, 2003 and Faba‐Pérez, Guerrero‐Bote, & Moya‐Anegón, 2004, 2005). The characteristics considered are (Faba‐Pérez et al, 2005): New Pages .…”

There have been many attempts to evaluate Web spaces on the basis of the information that they provide, their form or functionality, or even the importance given to each of them by the Web itself. The indicators that have been developed for this purpose fall into two groups: those based on the study of a Web space's formal characteristics, and those related to its link structure. In this study we examine most of the webometric indicators that have been proposed in the literature together with others of our own design by applying them to a set of thematically related Web spaces and analyzing the relationships between the different indicators.

“…Consumer's needs and requirements on a website are often determined by website evaluation, which is the most frequently used method to reflect the website performance (Lu & Yeung, 1998;Faba-Perez & Moya-Anegon, 2005). Most of the website evaluation studies focused on developing new evaluation methods or modified the existing websites using various frameworks (Law, Qi, & Buhalis, 2010).…”

Practitioners in the hotel industry constantly seek ways to improve their online and offline presence to improve their competitiveness and profitability. Consumers from different countries differ in their preferences for color, pictures, navigation, and site structure, which affect the performance of hotel websites. To connect industry efforts with consumer requirements, this study adopts a website usefulness framework to compare the websites of China-based luxury hotels with those of international luxury hotels. A fuzzy model is applied to analyze the data collected from online users. Findings of this study will be utilized to assess the perceptions of Chinese and international users and to compare the performance of the websites of China-based luxury hotels with those of international luxury hotels. Results show that Chinese and international consumers significantly differ in their perception of the usefulness performance of China-based and international luxury hotel websites.

“…Quantitative studies focus on the website quality [14]. The measures of the web pages, such as links formatting and the text elements were introduced in [10], whereas the numerically measurable data, e.g., time-based and traffic-based data have been used in [25]. However, in qualitative studies, the indices of the website quality are evaluated without generating indices or scores.…”
