Abstract:
Research indicates cultural markers used in web design as important for effective transmission and
understanding of desired message. Better than localization strategies which focus on specific countries
and languages, the culturally competent website is easily reachable and comprehensible to international
audiences. Using previously identified effective web design criteria accompanied by cultural markers; the
paper evaluates two International Business Program web sites to determine effectiveness of message
transmittal and if determined to be necessary, make recommendations for improvement.
