Information Architect (IA) Skills Each and every project requires specific IA deliverables and include: research, Website audits, design plan reports, competitive analysis, needs assessments, tasks analysis, observations, focus groups, card sorting, heuristic evaluations, usability testing, wire frame mockups, navigational systems, flow charts, end user flows, interaction design schematics, site maps, project management specific to Information Architecture. Working with clients on developing digital design products—corporate Websites—specific to their needs and business requirements. Then incorporating user-centered design principles into digital structures prior to implementation, using a systematic approach, The IA Model. ![]() ![]() Doing Information Architecture The IA Model is a robust, systematic, approach by which to work successfully—on IA projects—from inception to completion with consistency; see White Paper, The IA Model.pdf. The NS Model is a solid framework for designing navigational systems, helping end users to effectively use Websites or other digital design products, using search engines more effectively; see White Paper, The NS Model.pdf. IA MAIA Thesis Report, Portfolios are about Information Architecture, Navigational Systems, doing heuristic evaluations. IA MAEd Thesis Report, Portfolios are about Information Architecture. The IA Model is a complete, in-depth, systematic approach for doing high-quality IA design research, IA project management, IA heuristic evaluations (usability testing), IA documentation, IA concept generation, IA deliverables: user scenarios and use case scenarios, wire frame mockups, flow charts and schematics, rapid prototyping, implementation, and system testing. Design research involves doing extensive research for an IA Design Plan Report, including doing Website Audits as well as Project Management; see Portfolio. My experiences and IA Credentials qualify me as an expert and Information Architect Specialist in the industry. top | to résumé | how to use Website Copyright ©2007-2012 All rights reserved Last updated: March 1, 2010 Steven Heitman IA Design & Usability Information Architect User Experience Designer Project Manager |
