Information architecture (IA) refers to the structure or organization of your [organization's] website.
It describes the ways in which the different pages of your site relate to one another and ensures information is organized in a consistent and predictable way on each page.
It involves steps such as:
• assessing existing and needed content,
• organizing the pages,
• providing clues to help use the site efficiently, and
• developing navigational structure
An information architecture should contain the following components:
- Client Brief
- Objectives/Goals Declaration
- Audience Profiles
- Content Inventory
- Content Map
- Site Map
- Page Wire frames
- Tasks Grid
- Usability Tests
