Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of information architecture?

The main purpose of information architecture is to provide an organized and usable structure for the presentation and navigation of website content. This structure consists of a set of processes, tools, and methods to develop a website’s content, indexing and taxonomies, page structure and navigation, labels and search features, and design. Information architecture is an important part of overall user experience design, as it helps organize website content that is easy to find and use, increasing website performance.

How will our architecture scale in the future as our data grows?

Sufficient information architecture must be designed to handle any type of growth your data may experience. By implementing your information architecture within KNVEY Core's modular design and centralized site management, you are able to quickly and easily add components as needed to support larger data sets. Additionally, strategies such as caching and sharding will ensure that the architecture can adapt to changing data sets with minimal interruption. As your data sets grow and evolve, you can be confident that KNVEY will be able to keep pace.

How long will it take?

An Information Architecture project can vary from taking a few weeks to months to complete, depending on the company's needs and requirements. During this process, analysts will craft a detailed plan to showcase how content in a website or application is organized, labeled, and navigated. This includes conducting research, analyzing the findings from user interviews, creating data models, developing content taxonomies, and creating navigational schemas. The project should include ample time for testing and validating user feedback on both the plan and any prototype solutions.

Who benefits from an information architecture strategy?

Having an effective information architecture in place is a win-win for both your company and users. It allows users to find what they are looking for quickly and easily, and for companies to better connect with customers, take advantage of digital opportunities, and maximize their digital presence and strategy.
