Information architecture makes for clear content

A successful information architecture facilitates an improved user experience
Contact us

Together with Ergon, design an information architecture that makes accessing your content quick and easy. It is a key element of the human-centred design process and provides users with a clear, intuitive structure for finding information. Our information architectures take into account the needs of your target group and the goals of your company. Through well organised, structured and labelled information, we create a positive user experience and help you achieve your goals.

How we create your information architecture

Structuring content

We structure content logically and in a way that focuses on the user, so you can find it quickly and easily.

Developing navigation systems

Intuitive navigation elements make for a user-friendly interface.

Labelling and using terminology

Clear, coherent labels and consistent terminology improve usability and make information more accessible.

Content auditing

By means of comprehensive analysis and assessment, we find out where your solutions are currently at and identify potential improvements.

Card sorting

Joint card sorting sessions provide you with valuable insights into the mental models of users – for a genuinely intuitive and customised information architecture.

Tree testing

In tree tests, users look for certain elements based on the proposed organisation and terminology of the application. This demonstrates how well the structure works.

The benefits of a successful information architecture

  • Satisfied users who find information quickly and easily
  • Greater levels of efficiency and productivity for users, thanks to clear and intuitive structures
  • An ideal basis for the scalability and enhancement of your solution

FAQ

Information architecture determines how content is structured, found and understood. These FAQs look at how clear information structures affect orientation and user experience, and the typical signs that a digital offering needs reorganising in structure or content.

Glossary

How information is structured has a major impact on how efficiently users can find their way around digital content. This glossary explains the methods and concepts that improve navigation, findability and clarity within complex information spaces.

Navigation systems

Navigation systems are structures and controls that guide users through the content or features of a digital product. They influence how quickly information can be found and tasks completed.

Content audit

A content audit is a systematic stocktake and evaluation of existing content. It shows which content is relevant, outdated, redundant or hard to find, and provides a basis for better information structures.

Card sorting

Card sorting is a research method in which users group and label content or terms. The results give clues about how target groups organise information mentally.

Tree testing

Tree testing checks whether users can find information within a proposed structure. Navigation is usually tested without any visual design, so that the clarity of the information architecture can be assessed on its own.

Mental model

A mental model describes how users organise a topic, task or information structure in their minds. Taking this model into account makes navigation and content easier for the target group to follow.
