Information architecture review

Information architecture shapes how users find and understand content. Like a well-organized library, good IA helps users locate what they need intuitively. Poor organization creates confusion and increases the time to complete tasks.

Key areas to evaluate:

  • Content grouping: Logical organization of related items
  • Menu structure: Clear hierarchy and category names
  • Search patterns: How content appears in search results
  • Filters: Organization of filtering options
  • Related content: Connections between different sections
  • Naming patterns: Consistent terminology across sections
  • Breadcrumbs: Clear location indicators and paths

Finding IA issues helps improve content findability and reduces the cognitive load on users navigating complex systems.
