Purpose – The purpose of this study is to determine the relative importance of the usability and
functionality factors for online auction and shopping web sites from the perspective of young
consumers.
Design/methodology/approach – The Analytical Network Process (ANP) was used to analyse the
relative importance of the usability and functionality factors.
Findings – The findings show that customers of online auction and shopping web sites give higher
priority to usability and usability factors than to functionality, with navigation and interaction being
the factors of highest relative importance.
Practical implications – First, customers assign higher priority to usability factors. Thus, early in
the design phase, designers should attach more importance to navigation- and interaction-related
aspects of their web sites. Second, designers of web sites should include basic and advanced search
options to increase the number of the web site users.
Originality/value – The study is the first to examine the relative importance of the usability and
functionality factors of online auction and shopping web sites. Furthermore, the study fills this gap by
identifying the complex interrelationships between various features of usability and functionality, and
their impact on each other, by examining two Turkish online-auction and shopping web sites.
