"Another major advantage of eBay is the fact that they offer the localized sites on a global scale. The system literally has multiple opportunities to buy or sells either a large-scale auction or a smaller auction. Just the number of members and the number of goods and services entail an enormous amount of planning for the sites in multiple countries. These localized 'mini-eBay's' are just as well managed as the larger global site."

In fact, for many enterprises, the website and how its marketing strategies are formulated is the organization for all practical intents and purposes. Researchers have even begun to observe that how a website is integrated into marketing strategies is far more intrinsically related to deeper organizational concerns such as the very business model that an enterprise is founded upon (Owens, 2006, paras.1-3). These concepts related to corporate websites are examined from a business to business (B2B) and a business to consumer (B2C) perspective utilizing an example of each modality: IBM and eBay."

Abstract
This paper describes a virtual website, similar to KaZaA in the file-swapping aspect, but instead of music, provides first-rate Hollywood-caliber movies, from which members have the opportunity to download specialized encryption software to their system. The author points out that website security for the Internet and internal networked environments has three basic objectives: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The paper states that the website will require various software tools, such as encryption and database software, firewalls, routers and other hardware, but the keys to security are reputable vendors, who are reliable with support and well-trained, and knowledgeable network administrators and personnel.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Whatever the case, our website security aspirations will be very difficult to achieve. In the modern world, a high school kid with a failing average could easily gain unauthorized access to an insecure network or website environment. The real problem is that many people know exactly what they are doing because today's adolescents have grown up with technology and they understand it. Couple this with the fact that whole nations and industries have become computer crime intruders such as what has occurred in China. Network security engineers have to be on the lookout for many attacks."

Yankee Candle's Website, 2007.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the success of many companies' websites varies markedly, showing that products and the reputation of the bricks-and-mortar store are not sufficient to inspire success via website sales. The paper discusses the website of Yankee Candle, the industry leader in premium scented candles. The paper discusses how their website exploits all the advantages of online shopping and therefore enjoys high customer satisfaction. The paper concludes that their website successfully incorporates the advantages of bricks-and-mortar stores while still creating a pleasurable and simple online search for products.
From the Paper
"Many companies' websites sell similar, if not equivalent, products to similar demographics in close geographic regions. Despite this, the success of many companies' websites varies markedly, giving credence to the theory that products and the reputation of the bricks-and-mortar store aren't sufficient to inspire success via website sales (Totty 2001). Successful websites can expand and build on the reputation and name recognition of a bricks and mortar store; however, they can also become entities unto themselves and offer options not available in a physical store, like 24-hour ordering and customer service, faster location of a product, and side-by-side comparisons of specific features and options."

Competitive websites must contain a variety of all these things, they need buttons that react to Mouseovers, stylish drop-down menus, ever-changing colors and text, and animation."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the Sprint PC website according to specific variables that usually make a website more visible and user-friendly. The paper shows that by using these variables as a guideline, it is easier to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of this particular website.
From the Paper
"An effective Web site should provide good error messages; however, even better than good error messages is a careful design that prevents a problem from occurring in the first place. In addition, the "help" button should allow users to recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors, and error messages should be expressed in plain language (no codes), precisely indicate the problem, and constructively suggest a solution. As such, as each link and button was pressed respectively on a recent visit to Sprint PCS's Web site, no error messages were received. This is in stark contrast to other Web sites, particularly those that reset after a prescribed amount of time, thereby eliminating even the "back" option."

From the Paper
"The website is not quite where the company needs it. The website provides statistical data about the company. Information collected for their numerous projects and analysis reports are available online, if that's what the site wanted to achieve it is done, but surely the company could have done more with this far reaching, vibrant medium. The site is hardly achieving any goal for it is not much of a gate way to the company through the cyber world, and being an advertiser it is not very good at that either. Probably they could have included features relating to their business, like specified search engines that work well for search of business information or statistical data. They could have used a larger data base that should have held not only information from their latest projects but financial reports and statistics from business magazines, other research organizations or public data of several international companies. More interactive features like chat sessions with top business analysts and e-journals might also have helped. And last but not the least, in the world of Macromedia graphics, the presentation should be much more shocking and attractive then the original purpose of the firm, the site almost absolutely fails at that, you wouldn't want to spend a cyber minute here unless you need some information."

"Contrast must not stand alone, however. Pattern is also very important in graphic design, and goes hand in hand with balance and rhythm. For example, elements should be patterned to some degree geometrically. For example, if one were to take a ruler and drawn a straight vertical line from one of the corners of a left quadrant graphic, any graphics or text below it should be placed with some reference to this imaginary line. The squaring, or even circling of elements is important to direct the eye, and provide coherency. In addition, pattern may be used to group similar elements spacially. It should dictate the way in which typefaces are applied as well, so that there is a repetition of usage. (e.g. sans serif typeface is always a header, Roman typeface is always used in the text, thus establishing expectations and an ability to interpret the data one is receiving based on this pattern)"

"In Canada up to 7,500 firms and as many as 160,000 workers are in some way linked to the environmental business. Canada, in fact, leads the world in some of the major environmental technologies such as fuel cells, alternative fuels and water treatment. Still, the industry needs help to expand in a big way. The Canadian government is helping out by providing substantial funds for environment friendly businesses in the federal budget. The Globe-Net aims to play a crucial role in the process by providing the necessary information."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper maintains that the Brussels-based Godiva chocolatier makes searching for their mouth-watering delicacies almost as fun as eating them. Their website caters to an international audience, offering American, European and East Asian consumers sample offerings such as ganache and truffles. The paper discusses how the Godiva site is admirable in its scope, its simplicity and its ease of use. The paper contends that in a sea of poorly-designed, cluttered and garish websites, Godiva reflects their elegant corporate image with a stunning web site. From a consumer's point of view and from a marketing standpoint, the Godiva.com site succeeds in tempting consumers to eat more chocolate.
From the Paper
"Each page of the Godiva website is flanked by a chocolate-colored top frame that, with its rectangular shape, reminds the viewer of the products being sold on the site. The simple and elegant Godiva logo does not detract from the layout. Five main menu titles also help the site remain uncluttered, even though Godiva offers a wealth of different chocolate treats. Roll-over drop-down menus also ease user navigation. Additionally, customers can enter a specific product code number or keyword in a search bar at the top of the any page on the site. Other stable menu items that are part of the universal top frame include the shopping bag and customer service sections. Godiva offers their 800-toll-free number and also an online live assistance feature all too rare in the online shopping world."
