 ABSTRACT
This paper presents the development of a methodology for presenting websites to an audience culturally different that the ones from which they originate. The process, called website localization, consists of far more than just textual translation of websites. The three-step procedure outlined is the first step in determining more effective techniques for website localization. Included is a case study that highlights the important aspects of localization.
