Information Architecture
What is Information Architecture?
The term information architecture refers to the organization and structure with which, for example, the sitemap of a website is organized. This structure has a significant influence on the usability of a page, which is why it’s important to create hierarchies and map meaningful sequences. When users can easily navigate your website, they are more likely to return to the content, stay longer, and, ideally, prefer to use your products over your competitors’. That’s why information architecture is an important focus point in our user-centered design process.
An ideally structured information architecture gives first-time users an uncomplicated view and direction of your content. They should be able to see at a glance where they can find which topic and what actions they can take. That’s why we take great care to make the information architecture of your digital product as efficient as possible
Our products in the field of Information Architecture
A well-structured information architecture shows users:
- Wo sich Nutzer:innen gerade auf der Seite befinden.
- Wohin und wie sie auf der Website navigieren können.
- Wie Nutzer:innen ans Ziel kommen, wenn sie wissen, wo sie hinwollen.
- Was es auf der Website zu finden gibt.
- Was es auf dieser Website zu finden gibt und wie Nutzer:innen dort hinkommen.
Clear structures
Information architecture is always an important part of our projects, since all following steps are built upon it. Our experts analyze the content of your website in detail beforehand and then design a concept for the appropriate information architecture. The landing pages and page content are then built on this structure. We can also optimize existing products by carrying out tree testing with objective test participants. Design and information architecture influence each other – that’s why we work very closely with visual design to offer your users an optimized experience.
