The aim of the study is to investigate the online behaviour of the Internet users in order to find a correlation between consumer preferences and website designs. The objective is to prove a hypothesis that consumers favour context-based websites. The paper contains numerous references showing an ample amount of reviewed literature and online sources. Primary and secondary methods of research are used: the experiment was conducted presenting identical information (a car advertisement) in four quasi-commercial websites: context-based (animated) image-oriented; context-based information-oriented; content-based (unanimated) image-oriented and content based information-oriented. The questionnaires were distributed and analysed, the data showing the levels of website satisfaction, willingness to return to it and persuasion. The degree of the participants' self-monitoring ('social chameleon' tendency) was taken into account. The conclusions were made that context-based advertisements were preferred over the content-based ones. However, the paper concludes that it is necessary for web designers to consider the users' personality types. The paper ends with the list of recommendations for website designers.

This dissertation work pursues its aim to demonstrate the value and significance of data mining for business, comparing with other traditional data collection methods. For this, the following objectives were achieved in this work: the data mining theories and practices were introduced, consumer attitudes towards data mining were highlighted, alternatives to data mining were presented and the development of permission market was evaluated. In the primary research (literature review), the connection with Database Marketing and direct marketing was defined, thus the customer orientation approach was evaluated throughout the work. Tools, advantages and disadvantages for data mining were discussed. The marketing strategy for data mining was also evaluated, as the way to increase the competitive advantage. The secondary research was performed through interviews and questionnaires. To understand the consumer perspective, two survey samples were used: university students and general members of public, and the public using data mining and not using data mining. After evaluating the findings and discussing them, the author concludes about the connection between the awareness and the use of data mining by public. The growth stage of data mining was described, as it began to develop; the mature stage was characterized and the decline stage was predicted, with the account for odds in the marketing strategies. Finally, the recommendations for extension strategies were given to prevent data mining from declining stage.
