Information architecture and navigation

Information architecture (IA) is the frame used to build out website content and tools. It is a highly specialised subject area but is the glue holding together everything that we do. It enables users to find what they need with a minimum of searching and confusion - whether the website is highly complex with thousands of pages, or smaller 'single-entity' websites.

The beauty of a carefully crafted IA is its scalability and ability to adapt to meet future needs of a growing site, without losing the simplicity of the initial offering.

Intuitive navigation is integral to a successful IA. This is achieved through the structure of content, accurate labelling and classification; we tie these two disciplines together and allow the navigation and IA to complement each other from the very beginning.
