Abstract There are a variety of web site design and technical issues that can be benchmarked, including: site creation, quality control, traffic monitoring, bandwidth management, and security. The focus in this review is market research web site design, specifically: the creation and assessment of web sites based on evolving best practices. The central research question is: what presently constitutes the scorecard of features for assessing market research web sites. The basis for this paper is the author's own experience developing two market research sites, as well as a complete review of web sites associated with the "top 100 companies by U.S. market research revenues" (Advertising Age, May 1998). Almost 90% of the top 100 firms maintain at least one web site. Market research firms specialize in syndicated and custom work, in overall public opinion as well as niches, with various field, product, and analytic offerings; thus, the bases for web site evaluation vary. A key benchmarking guidepost in assessing a market research web site, much like other web sites, should be identification of basic relationship management rinciples. Central questions include: who is the site for and will the site provide enough unique aterial to facilitate ongoing visits? An overall strategy needs to be created that enhances a corporate brand through appropriate: content, visual quality, and value-added service. The range of current offerings is summarized in the following sections, and then examples of how these principles were applied by the author are provided. (Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of scorecard design issues overall.)
