Information Architecture

Smart structure that makes complex information easy to find. We organize content and features so users can navigate intuitively.

What Can Be Included

Every project is unique. Here are elements we can incorporate based on your needs and goals.

Inventory & Audit

Catalog all content and features to understand what exists and what's working.

Structure Design

Organize information into a logical hierarchy that's intuitive for users.

Navigation Design

Create clear navigation systems that help users find what they need.

Labeling Strategy

Define consistent labels and terminology throughout the product.

Sitemaps & Wireframes

Visualize information structure and how pages relate to each other.

User Testing

Validate that your information architecture makes sense to real users.

Our IA Process

A systematic approach to organizing information and structure that makes complex products easy to navigate.

1

Audit & Inventory

Catalog all content, features, and user flows to understand the current landscape.

2

User Research

Research how users mentally organize information and what terminology they use.

3

Concept Development

Brainstorm and explore different organizational structures and hierarchies.

4

Structure Design

Define the optimal hierarchy and relationships between content and features.

5

Testing & Validation

Test your structure with real users through card sorting and usability studies.

6

Implementation

Create sitemaps, wireframes, and specifications to guide design and development.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is information architecture (IA)?+
Information architecture is the structural design of information environments. It's about organizing content and features in a way that makes sense to users. Good IA makes it easy for users to find information and accomplish their goals.
Why does IA matter for product success?+
Poor IA frustrates users and leads to low engagement and high bounce rates. Good IA reduces cognitive load, helps users find what they need faster, and improves conversion rates. It's often the invisible foundation of great user experience.
What's card sorting and when do we use it?+
Card sorting is a research method where users group content into categories and label them. We use it to understand how users naturally organize information, which informs your IA structure. It's especially useful for large content-heavy products.
Can IA help improve navigation?+
Absolutely. IA and navigation design are closely related. Strong IA creates a clear hierarchy that navigation can reflect. Good navigation makes users' mental model of your IA visible and helps them navigate intuitively.
How long does IA work take?+
Simple IA projects take 2-4 weeks. Complex products with lots of content take 4-8 weeks. This includes research, concept development, testing, and documentation. We iterate based on user feedback until we get it right.
Do you help implement IA changes?+
Yes, we provide detailed sitemaps, wireframes, and specifications that guide design and development. We also support implementation to ensure your IA vision is correctly translated into the actual product.
