摘要：

Culture is arguably an important consideration when designing websites because it influences users' needs and expectations as they come to the site. Ten government websites from Egypt were evaluated in 2010 and 2014, before and after the break of the Arab Spring. By utilizing Hofstede's model of cultural dimensions, the objective is to identify whether cultural-specific design elements have changed over time. The results suggest that the designs of these websites have changed and that they did not fully reflect design characteristics inferred from Hofstede's model.
