Information design & architecture
Information Architecture (IA) is an essential component of any information portal, be it an intranet, extranet, external website or bespoke application. Defining your IA and creating a development roadmap for its evolution will ensure that you can reliably create, store, retrieve and use information.
Our Information Architects work with you to define your information architecture solutions, typically they will involve:
- Information flow models – Mapping information flows and classifying unstructured information to create defined information and content types.
- Personas – Portraits and profiles of user types, these will serve as an invaluable compass for design and development.
- Scenario planning – Storyboards and wireframes that emulate the interaction and relationship between people and information.
- Information architecture specification – Definition of content types, metadata, taxonomies, folksonomies and ontologies so that data can be ordered and structured to realize more the effective management, access and retrieval of information.
