Methodology: The approach of this research is classical Grounded Theory; in this approach, after depth semi-structured interviews with experts and informants in this field, open coding is done while implementing the interviews. Sequential review, review and return to the previous step are the principles of this approach. At this stage, the formation of categories and concepts, which is the main concern of the interviewees and informants, as well as the selective coding that, did to saturate the categories and concepts discovered. In this study, after 16 depth interviews, theoretical saturation obtained. After saturation, sorting takes place; this sorting provides a theoretical blueprint or conceptual framework for formulating classical grounded theory; then in theoretical coding, we conceptualize how categories relate to each other. At this stage, through theoretical codes, we relate the concepts to each other and create a research model. Results and Discussion: After performing the GT’s steps, 113 codes were extracted, which led to the emergence of three categories and nine concepts. These categories include: two-side and friendly communication with the potential customer using the cognitive and emotional elements of the corporate website, which includes four concepts, 1) Designing visual motions and using particles in the corporate website with a focus on Emotional Arousal and Increase cognition (cognitive/emotional). 2) Customer-orientation pop-up design with the aim of expanding two-side and friendly relationships with the role of emotion arousal and intensifying the Cognition of the potential customer(cognitive/emotional). 3) Innovation in organizational color design in the website with the aim of arousing emotion and visual cognition of the organization (cognitive / emotional).
