Best And Worst Of Japanese Site Design, 2005

Forrester Applies Its Review Methodology To 16 Major Japanese Web Sites

by Ron Rogowski

with Harley Manning, Elizabeth Backer


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Using its recently updated Web Site Review methodology, Forrester evaluated the customer experience of 16 major Japanese sites — four each in the automotive, computer hardware, media, and travel industries. No site received a passing grade. Media sites performed the best, just outpacing travel sites, while automotive sites fared worst. To improve experiences for their online customers, firms need to adopt a service mentality that is appropriate for the medium, doesn't tolerate defects, and focuses on user behavior.
