Strategic Premise
Building a Web Site for an Enterprise or
Non-Profit is Not an Exercise
in Either
Technology Or Aesthetics.
It is an Exercise in Creating Satisfying
Customer Experience in a Way that Leads to
Cost-Effective Execution of Marketing Strategy.

COMP7880-web-3
Effective Execution of Marketing Strategy
Building Web sites that deliver satisfying customer experience and do so in a way that fits both strategy and budget.
Visual attractiveness is a plus, but not a necessity.
If technology gets in trouble, it is a negative, not a plus, e.g., flash intros/demos.
Web sites is an important marketing strategy but not the only one - that must be cost-effective.
Most Web sites should eventually be expected to produce a reasonable return on investment.

Purpose of Usability Testing
Visitors expect smooth navigation suiting their need
To be pleased and not frustrated The fundamental basis of Web site usability
is user task performance. • Visitors come to the Web site motivated to
accomplish some goal, to perform some task.
• Usability testing is designed to ensure that task performance is not only possible, but hopefully efficient and entirely satisfactory.

COMP7880-web-25
Types/Stages of Usability Testing
Concept Testing - testing site design concepts to see if they make sense. This is primarily site structure, not design approaches.
Prototype Testing - testing prototypes to see if they fit the manner in which users expect the site to be organized and laid out in order for them to complete tasks in an orderly fashion.
Full Usability Testing - Testing the full usability of the site when it is functionally complete and most if not all of the content is there.

No Website can Ignore the Need for Usability Testing
Usability testing is critically important.
A careful marketer can learn to do it, especially one who has had focus group training or experience.
It can be outsourced to interactive marketing agency or a specialized marketing services firm.

What is a Server Log?
Server logs record every hit (every file requested) and most pages have many files.
This is a necessary lead-in to understanding that the IT people use server log data to run the site and marketers use it (after much processing) to understand the performance of their marketing programs.
Includes, e.g. IP address, date and time of request

Basic Metrics – Site Traffic

COMP7880-web-33
Basic Metrics – Site Audience
Visitors - simple count of the number of people who visit a site
Unique visitors - the number of different people Identified visitors - the next step up; now we know
who they are Unduplicated audience - the number of unique
visits/exposures in a specified time frame.
Traffic and audience measures are obviously related.
Traffic simply measures the activity on the site. Audience measures are of more interest to marketers who
need information about the composition of that traffic.

Television Ratings
Create-once-sell-many medium Production costs don’t change with number of
audience Producers cannot directly count their audience Independent panel-based measurement
companies are preferred, e.g. ACNielsen Survey a representative sample of viewers and
the TV channels to which they tuned Set-top box is used to record the viewing
behavior

Magazine Ratings
Create-many-sell-many medium They can count how many copies printed &
sold No way to count magazines actually opened

numbers based on audits of financial documents, mailing lists, postal receipts, and printing bills
