The purpose of this research was to evaluate the design of websites of private sports clubs in Iran based on the WEB-QEM method. The present research method was descriptive. The statistical population included the websites of Iran's private sports clubs with a total of 20 websites. The WebQEM model checklist was used by Olsina et al. (1999) as a research tool. Offline and online software were used to implement and analyze the components of this survey. The results showed that the usability measure with an average (0.2215) shows that 45% of the websites are in an average condition, the performance measure with an average (0.0656) shows that 55% of the websites are in a very unfavorable condition. The reliability criterion with an average (0.0620) shows that 25% of the websites are in an average condition and 25% are in an optimal condition, and the efficiency criterion with an average of (0.1260) shows that 50% of the websites are in an optimal condition. Finally, the WebQEM method in evaluating the websites of Iran's private sports clubs with an average (0.1188) jointly showed 35% in an unfavorable situation and 35% in an average situation. The lowest score was obtained by the Synergy Club website (0.02 points) and the highest score by the two websites of the Future Builders Club (0.74 points) in the WebQEM method. Considering the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of these websites in design, it is suggested to update and fix the current problems.
