Forward KES application is capable of identifying web design elements from a given Kansei word while Backward KES application is used to automatically recognize Kansei from a set of design elements. The prototype has been tested using five website design specimens of different Kansei concepts and feedback from 40 respondents has been collected. While the result varies between the tested specimens, the analysis indicated that with certain improvements, KWRDM can be used to automate Kansei web recognition.
