Personalization (sometimes known as customization) generally enables a web site to be more responsive to the unique and individual needs of a user. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, some of which require the user's input, and others that operate behind the scenes, such as by looking at an IP address or geographic location and serving up content based on the user's browser. In this article we shall look at a way to develop a method of site personalization that will allow a user to personalize the look and feel, and the content of a website, depending upon the user's preference.
