Web Development
Information architecture is an important aspect of web design and this is an important part of the pre-production design process and research. Site flow is the foundation of websites content design. When starting a new website, ask yourself the following questions:
- How is your site currently structured?
- What content do you want to present on the site overall?
- How are competing sites presenting their information?
- What is the best way that we can organize your content for the best user experience?
- Who are your primary and secondary audiences? What do they need and want?
- What are the components that will make your site better?
