The use of the internet as an important political marketing tool has been recognized by parties as their websites become more and more active, while the maturity level of party engaging with this medium grows. Providing an evaluation framework, which underlines among other important issues the maturity level of the party with the web, we aim to demonstrate the rationale for parties to upgrade their web activities and to facilitate and operate in an e-democracy environment. The proposed four-maturity stage framework is cross-national and can be applied to any political party. The advantage of the proposed framework over other attempts is the importance it attaches to user needs in maintaining their interest on the party website. This framework has the added advantage to evaluate and compare parties along a maturity four-maturity stage ladder starting from online presence progressing to interactivity stage, advancing to an e-democracy stage and culminating in the final integration stage.
