Abstract

Websites are an important means of communication for colleges and universities. Web-based presentations are replacing traditional ways of disseminating information. This study investigates the websites of 21 colleges and universities located on Long Island (Nassau, Suffolk) as well as five additional schools, four of which are Ivy League institutions. This research developed a technique of web site analysis known as 7X2 C's criteria, which are applied to seven separate layers of website application and development. The study concludes that the web sites of all the included institutions have errors across all the layers of the analysis to some degree that need to be corrected. Some of these errors are crucial, especially with regard to website search engines.
