Abstract
The cultural background of web users may play a key role in the way they interact with and perceive the usability and usefulness of websites. Twenty Arab participants evaluated and compared 2 websites from 2 countries within their culture to identify their preferences and expectations of the design of Arabic websites in order to examine whether these preferences are consistent with their cultural-specific attributes as described and predicted by Hofstede's model of cultural dimensions. The results suggest that these participants showed an overall preference for one website over the other. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
