Description

The internet has flourished into a global marketplace of goods, services, and ideas. With this surge in cross-culture interactions, we must turn our attention to the commonalities and differences in our web-based world. Despite potential language barriers, users want to interact with overseas markets. But how do westerners try to find tourism destinations? How do they shop online through overseas websites? Are there any frustrations or design differences that can create gaps? By conducting interviews with two native Japanese people who have extensively interacted with US and Japanese internet, this study hopes to hear of their perceptions and experiences with both. By hosting surveys with average western users, this study aims to find any commonalities and differences between US and Japanese website design.
