Site structure matters

Studies show that 77% of users return to content and information sites that are easy to use (Forrester Research, 2001).

You can learn to structure information

Info.Design recognizes that many books that provide theory and classes that help us learn concepts. Seldom are they brought together in a format that enables us to articulate and apply these concepts. Our goal with Information Architecture for the World Wide Web will help you meet this goal.

As contractors to Georgetown University's Center for Professional Development and individual corporations/ organizations, we teach a course called Information Architecture for Web.

We're happy to discuss ways we can use this text in your organization to enable your staff to structure information with the user in mind. Contact us at thom@thomhaller.com.
