Determining the Most Significant Factors in Classifying a Web Site – Users Perspective

Abstract

Due to the wide range of connectivity, communication over Internet becomes a single click. In this way, websites play a vital role to reach and attain the users. Hence, we must design the website considering the
features the users look and the features that are most significant to them. In this work, we try to understand the user behavior and the features that are most important to them in order to classify a website as an effective website.The user behavior depends on the usage and accessing the websites in a given time. We propose to apply a statistical approach called Factor Analysis to identify the most significant features the user considered for classification.We plan to conduct a survey on various types of users by selecting the respondents using purposive random sampling. In this Survey, We conduct a pilot survey to understand the features the users generally look at.
