Abstract
In the following article, we explain our process of integrating research and evaluation into the development of Web sites using five steps: (1) profiling the target audience, (2) assessing the audience's mental model of the Web site content, (3) providing guidance from existing research on Web site design and research methodologies, (4) evaluating prototype Web sites, and (5) assessing user's information gain, understanding, and behaviors
