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.
