Credibility: Where Trust is Built Upon

It Is Important For A Website To Be Credible & Accountable

It may not be easy to assess the credibility of a website.

Although this may not be conclusive, there are a few things that I will look for.

Things like date of website, domain name, site design and contact details are important to me.

From the websites reviewed, all of them seem to be up to date except for Best Denki, which is still copyrighted in 2011 (by the way, we are already halfway through 2017).

It May Affect The Credibility Of A Website When Its Date Is Not Updated

All have credible domain names that bear their company names, and they adopt gTLD like .com and most of them use country-code TLD .sg too.

All site designs are decent.

All of them have physical stores and provide clear information on their store locations and contact details. This makes the websites very credible as there is accountability and the company is willing to stand behind the information presented.
