Abstract

In a previous paper the authors introduced a template for the evaluation of web sites. This was tested using a sample of a number of Greek companies' web sites and it proved to be useful enough as a general evaluation tool. Soon thereafter the authors realized the need to come up with a measurement and a metric system as a step ahead of that evaluation template. The WSEI (Web Site Evaluation Index) can be used not just to evaluate if a website is good or not, but also, how good it is especially when compared with other of similar quality.
