Diverse disciplines such as information science, computer science, cognitive science, and industrial design, are activity engaged in the website evaluation research efforts. Information scientists emphasize the importance of user-centered and user-friendly website design, which is also easy to use, This idea is based on the understanding that the users and the designers are different set of people. In addition, information scientists consider the practice of maximally incorporating user inputs during the website design to be very important guideline. However, this study is based on a newly emerging population of website users who are also designers. 218 study participants evaluated the websites that they designed in comparison to the websites designed by others. According to the survey data analysis, the study participants considered the content delivery, design simplicity, design consistency, and link access of the websites to be equally important from both users' and designers' perspectives. However, the content organization, rich content, and screen composition were underestimated from the designers' point of view whereas these factors were considered to be important from users' point of view.

전자상거래를 위한 인터넷의 웹사이트 구축 문제는 기업이나 조직의 중요한 새로운 마케팅 창구로서의 역할 때문에 그 중요성을 인식하고 효과적 디자인을 기반한 사이트구축이 이슈화 되었다. 그리하여 성공적인 인터넷 비즈니스를 위한 웹사이트의 구축 방법론이나 가이드라인의 연구가 필요하게 되며, 최근 소비자의 행동을 분석하여 이를 소비자 구매욕구를 증진시키는 방안으로 활용하여 전략적인 웹사이트를 구축하도록 제시하는 많은 연구들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 전략적인 관점에서 웹사이트를 구축하거나 이미 구축된 웹사이트를 전략적 관점에서 개편하려고 할 때 사용될 수 있는 뚜렷한 방법론이 존재하지 않기 때문에 이런 관점의 분석모형이 절대적으로 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전략 형성과정에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Map)을 소개하고 이를 바탕으로 보다 구체적인 웹사이트 디자인 요소를 분석, 평가 할 수있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 FCM기반의 분석은 웹사이트의 성공요인들로 꼽히는 요인들간의 인과관계를 고려하여 웹사이트 구축의 요인간의 영향력의 민감도 분석을 할 수 있는 접근법으로서의 활용도가 기대된다.
