Abstract
To find a strategy for improving the competitiveness of Web sites, it is necessary to use comprehensive, integrated Web site quality dimensions that effectively discover which improvements are needed. Previous studies on Web site quality, however, seem to have inconsistent and confusing scopes, creating a need of reconciliation among the quality dimensions. Therefore, this chapter attempts to provide a Web site quality model that can comprise all the quality scopes provided by previous studies. The relationship between the specific dimensions of the quality model and the characteristics or merits of Web 2.0 was discussed in this chapter with actual Web site examples. It is expected that this study can help Web sites improve their competitiveness in the Web 2.0 environment.
