<p>A method and system implemented through software executed on a server computer for creating a customized web site in response to a user's click on a hypertext link. Template software components are stored on a web merchant's web server for creating a web site in accordance with specific content and functionality determined by a partner of the web merchant. A database stores a web content profile defined by the partner and identifiable with a partner identifier (52). The partner provides special hypertext links accessible to users for activating the template software components. Upon clicking the special hypertext link, the partner identifier is transmitted to the web merchant's web server where it is used to call up the partner profile (53). The template web server components construct a customized web site in accordance with the profile stored in the database that corresponds to the partner identifier (54). The customized web site is downloaded to the user's web browser where it remains available for the duration of a defined session (55). No copy of the customized web site is stored on any web server. Accordingly, other than any temp files created by the user's operating system or web site images maintained by the user's browser, upon session completion, the customized web site is lost.</p> |
