The present study explores the influence of website design (utilitarian motivation) on online user behaviour, in the context of a site promoting a tourist destination. The results underline the importance of utilitarian aspects for the effectiveness of online information-processing and the formation of perceived risk online. It is recommended that websites should reflect this type of motivation so as to make browsing useful for the online consumer.}, organization = {The authors appreciate the financial help provided via a research project of group ADEMAR (University of Granada) under the auspices of the Andalusian Program for R&D, number P06-SEJ02170, and Research Program from the Faculty of Education, Economy and Technology of Ceuta.}, publisher = {Universidad Miguel Hernández; Asociación Española de Marketing Académico y Profesional (AEMARK)}, keywords = {Website}, keywords = {Usability}, keywords = {Browsing time}, keywords = {Perceived risk online}, title = {Website design as moderating factor of online user behavior}, author = {Alcántara Pilar, Juan Miguel and Barrio García, Salvador Del}, }
