Overview

Information Architecture creates logical structures that help users find and understand information easily.

When to Use

  • Website or app redesign
  • Large information spaces (documentation, e-commerce)
  • Navigation structure planning
  • Taxonomy and categorization
  • Search functionality design
  • User journey mapping

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

IA Process:

1. Research & Discovery

  - Interview users about mental models

  - Card sorting sessions (open and closed)

  - Analyze current usage patterns

  - Competitive analysis

2. Structure Development

  - Create organization scheme (hierarchical, faceted, etc.)

  - Define categories and relationships

  - Build taxonomy

  - Plan navigation

3. Wireframing

  - Sitemap creation

  - Navigation structure

  - Page templates

  - User flows

4. Validation

  - User testing with prototypes

  - Tree testing (navigation only)

  - Iterate based on feedback

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Start with user research
  • Conduct card sorting studies
  • Use user mental models
  • Keep hierarchy 3 levels deep max
  • Use clear, simple labels
  • Enable multiple ways to find content
  • Test navigation with users
  • Update based on usage data
  • Document taxonomy
  • Provide search functionality

❌ DON'T

  • Impose organizational structure without research
  • Use jargon or technical terms
  • Make hierarchy too deep
  • Bury important content
  • Rely only on navigation (provide search)
  • Change navigation frequently
  • Create ambiguous labels
  • Forget about edge cases
  • Ignore accessibility
  • Assume desktop-only navigation

frontend-design
3/3

Distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that reject generic AI aesthetics. Guides design thinking before coding: establish bold aesthetic direction (brutalist, maximalist, retro-futuristic, luxury, playful, etc.) with clear purpose, tone, and differentiation Emphasizes typography, color theming, motion, spatial composition, and textural details as core design pillars; uses CSS variables, animations, and scroll-triggered effects Generates working, functional code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue) that matches implementation complexity to aesthetic vision: elaborate code for maximalist designs, restrained precision for minimalist ones Explicitly avoids generic patterns: overused fonts (Inter, Roboto), clichéd color schemes (purple gradients), predictable layouts, and cookie-cutter component design
