To conduct this, the researcher formulated a preference level test (PLT) and installed it on both websites. 84 undergraduate students participated in the main experiment. They were divided into two experimental groups; each group consisted of 42 students. The first group used the responsive website (RW), while the second group used the adaptive website (AW).
