IA Project

Proposal, case study, and IA deliverables were successfully accomplished for project.

Current Website has major information architecture problems as well as inconsistent interface design.

Did a competitive analysis by auditing 3 different Websites.

Industry descriptions of all competitors are included in case study.

Research and development, including Website audit provided framework for recommended redesign of information architecture.

Great team to work on—project was successfully completed.

Due to technologies, non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality, not everything can be presented here.




IA Structure

The main navigational system consists of ten main categories that are included on every Web page in the Website for consistent information architecture and easy navigation for end users.

User-Centered Design

The main categories are arranged to enable the end user to wayfind, so that the end user can find information on the SFSU Website. Miscellaneous links are also helpful in finding sub categories on the Website.

The campus news and campus events keeps everyone updated on current happenings. The SFSU Website does not have any consistent information architecture or use consistent SFSU logos on they Website or subsites.

The solution is to implement consistent information architecture as well as consistent interface designs, including doing additional usability testing.
