Abstract

Each gender has different website preferences. Research has shown that various factors can affect these preferences, including the content of the website, its appearance, and the age of the user. However, this research focuses primarily on two aspects: the content and the appearance of the website. The objectives of the research are to identify how the appearance of a website can attract males and females, to determine the different types of content preferred by both genders, and to identify age categories and their specific preferences when visiting a website. To conduct the research, articles regarding website preferences by both genders were analyzed and related to marketing intelligence. Additionally, questionnaires were distributed to 400 website users to analyze their website preferences. At the conclusion of the research, the study identifies the categories of website preferences for both genders and provides guidelines for designing gender-neutral websites.
