Abstract

Most responsive websites are not very consistent. Thus, we revealed the elements and the factors that enable consistency in responsive websites in a multidevice context. We investigated the available research and the present state of university websites. We performed an evaluation experiment with five responsive websites and created 15 sample sites. We did an evaluation experiment with this. Consequently, we were able to obtain the elements and factors. We think that we can achieve a more natural multidevice experience through this knowledge.
