Information Architecture

Creating rewarding online user experiences

Information Architecture is about getting people to the information they seek as quickly and easily as possible.

Our Information Architecture process will structure your applications content, functionality, navigation and search capabilities. We can develop websites and software applications that will be completely customer focused and 100% based on your business goals and user needs.  This will drive better conversion rates, improve the user experience and encourage customers to return to the site.

Process
Typically, we would look at the following during an Information Architecture review:

  • Business Goals
  • User Research
  • User Needs
  • Card Sorting
  • Metadata Schemas
  • Navigation

The final deliverable in Information Architecture project is usually

  • Content Inventory
  • Sitemap
  • Wireframe Designs

From there, usability testing can also be implemented to test the wireframes prior to developing the artwork.

We offer a comprehensive Information Architecture consulting and usability service that will help ensure your site's success. We are happy to look at one of pieces of work such as audits and reviews or we are happy to get involved in ongoing basis. We can work with and guide internal or external graphic design teams to get the maximum from your website or provide ad hoc advice.
