Keywords: Communication medium, information quality, user satisfaction, website service, web design INTRODUCTION The Internet has become a popular medium of communication and the website of Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Inaba (STIE), www.inaba.ac.id, serves as a medium of ARTICLE INFO Article history: Received: 18 September 2017 Accepted: 12 March 2018 E-mail addresses: adryanra55@student.upi.edu (Adryan Rachman) ratih@upi.edu (Ratih Hurriyati) liliadiwibowo@upi.edu (Lili Adi Wibowo) vanessa@upi.edu (Vanessa Gaffar) * Corresponding author communication that provides information for students, faculty, and the general public. Many factors affect user satisfaction (students) of a website, namely web design, quality of information, speed, web navigation, personalisation, and others. Satisfaction refers to student expectations of the website service in terms of its design and quality of information. A website design that has good quality of information will impact positively on users satisfaction. Thus, STIE Inaba should focus on increasing user satisfaction.

Adryan Rachman, Ratih Hurriyati, Lili Adi Wibowo and Vanessa Gaffar Al-Kasasbeh, Dasgupta and Al-Faouri (2011) examine users satisfaction pertaining to the online system of University of Petra. The dimensions were website design, navigation, and personalisation. The results showed that all three dimensions affected the users satisfaction of the online system at the University of Petra, Jordan. Subsequent research by Al-Manasra, Zaid and TaherQutaishat (2013) investigated customer satisfaction in the telecommunication sector in Jordan from the perspective of website quality, namely quality of information, interaction and service quality, and ease of use. The results showed all these had a positive and significant effect on the telecommunication users satisfaction. Maditinos, Chatzoudes, Tsairidis and Theriou (2011) found that some website s attributes contribute to user satisfaction. User satisfaction refers to how satisfied the users are to a website. The results showed that each attribute influenced information quality, system quality, security, privacy, and ultimately affected user satisfaction. Ranjbarian, Sanayei, Kaboli and Hadadian (2012) studied customer satisfaction of online booking. Five variables of customers satisfaction were examined, namely convenience, merchandising, web design, security, and service. The results showed four variables significantly influenced customer satisfaction: convenience, merchandising, security, and service. On the other hand, web design does not have a significant impact on the customer satisfaction. However, it is different from the results of research conducted by Al-Kasasbeh et al. (2011), who reported that web design has a significant influence on the satisfaction level of internet users. Sanjaya (2012) on the website service of the Communication and Information Technology Ministry (Kemenkominfo) showed that from the 3-dimensional WebQual 4.0, only the dimensions of usability and interaction quality are considered influential to the users satisfaction, while the dimension of information quality is considered to be influential for users satisfaction of websites service. In this study, the authors discuss the quality of a website from two-dimensions: web design and information quality. Web design can be in the form of the website s visual display, the use of images, colours, photos, and the type of text that is used to make the website attractive. The information quality refers to the presence of information on the website that provides a high level of usefulness to the users. Based on the above explanation, the present authors conducted research on Analysis of Users Satisfaction with the Service Website of STIE INABA Bandung. Formulation of the Problems 1. Are there any significant effects between the web designs and users satisfaction with the service website of STIE Inaba Bandung? 2. Are there any significant influences of the information quality to users satisfaction with the service website of STIE Inaba Bandung? 182 Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 26 (T): 181-192 (2018)
Analysis of Users Satisfaction with Website LITERATURE REVIEW Satisfaction According to Dwiastuti, Shinta and Isaskar (2012), consumers satisfaction is a condition in which the needs, desires, and expectations of consumers towards a product and service are appropriate or fulfilled with the products appearance and services. Consumers who are satisfied will continually consume these products, encourage themselves to be loyal to the products and services, and are happy to promote such products and services verbally (Pebrianti, 2016). Kotler and Keller (2008) define consumers satisfaction as consumers feelings, both as either a pleasure or a disappointment resulting from comparison of the product with the consumers expectations for the product. WEBSITE QUALITY Internet Definition According to Turban and Rainer (2009), the internet is a global network (wide-area network) that connects millions of networks of computers around the world. Kotler and Armstrong (2010) define the internet as a public web that is linked to a computer network which connects different types of users around the world to establish a large information repository. Website Definition According to O Brien (2006), a website is a facility that offers chat rooms, e-mail, and instant messaging features where internet surfers can browse the World Wide Web by using browser software to obtain various information, entertainment, or do businessrelated objectives. Further, a website is a collection of web pages summarised in a domain or subdomain on the World Wide Web (WWW). Websites can be defined as a collection of pages that are used to display information, still or dynamic images, sounds, or a combination of these items, whether static or dynamic, which form a series of interconnected structures where each is connected to the pages network (hyperlink) (CV Brilian Krisdatama, 2012). Website s Quality Definition According to Tjiptono (2012), well-managed qualities will contribute positively to the realisation of customers satisfaction and loyalty. Qualities motivate customers to establish mutually beneficial relationship with the company. Based on Levis, Helfert and Brady (2008), quality is the totality of characteristics of an entity to satisfy written and implied needs. Two requirements for the evaluation of website that emerge from this definition are: (1) The general valuation of the whole characteristics of a website; and (2) How well the site meets specific needs. Quality of the website is also related to criteria such as promptness, ease of navigation, ease of access, and presentation of the information. Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 26 (T): 181-192 (2018) 183
Adryan Rachman, Ratih Hurriyati, Lili Adi Wibowo and Vanessa Gaffar Dimensions of Website Qualities Al-Kasasbeh et al. (2011) tested the online system users satisfaction at the University of Petra, Jordan based on the following dimensions, such as website design, navigation, and personalisation. Jasur Hasanov (2015) revealed the dimensions of service qualities that consist of ease of access, information quality, and service quality of the interaction. In this study, two (2) dimensions that will be examined are web design and information quality. 1) Web Design Quality According to Al-Kasasbeh et al. (2011), web design is measured by the visual presentation, use of graphics, colours and images, and the diversity of fonts used in the website. 2) Information Quality According to Yaghoubi (2011), information qualify refers to the website s quality of content and information relevancy to the user s purpose, for example, the level of accuracy, context, form/display, and the relevance of the information. Therefore, it can be concluded that information quality refers to the quality of information both in terms of accuracy, relevance, context, and form of presentation. Maditinos et al. (2011), McKinney, Yoon and Zahedi (2002) found understandability, reliability, and usefulness of information as a key dimension of information quality. Understandability is the extent to which the information can be easily understood by users. It measures how well a website presents information so that it is clear, meaningful, and can be interpreted and understood. Thus, it depends on the information format or the form, conciseness, and consistency. Reliable information means that the information is valid. Reliability can be ensured only if several conditions are met. For example, if the information is accurate, up-to-date, objective, and came from a legitimate source, it should be considered as reliable. Xiao and Dasgupta (2002) found that the promptness and accuracy of information play an important role in the satisfaction development. Useful information means that the information can be used effectively for a particular purpose. In other words, usefulness enables the website users to use the information for their respective purposes. Therefore, it is important that the information is complete, relevant, and includes all the necessary details. 184 Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 26 (T): 181-192 (2018)
