This study develops a comprehensive scale for measuring customers' mental imagery for commercial web sites. Following C hurchill's framework, a number of methodological instruments including two focus groups (the first with 4 experts and the second with 9 PhD students) and three surveys (151 students for the first survey, 205 and 200 web surfers, respectively, for the second and the third surveys) are used. The confirmatory factor analysis ( CFA ) resulted in a multiple‐item (13 items) scale with four dimensions; quantity/ease, links, vividness/clarity and valence, which seems to exhibit evidence of reliability and validity.
