Phase I: Understanding the information architecture of the original website
There were several things all staff could agree on regarding the information architecture of our website:
- It was not clear where certain pages lived.
- There were too many pages.
- Many pages were outdated.
In order to gain a better understanding of our current information architecture, we developed a content inventory and a site map.
The content inventory was quite lengthy and revealed several layers of information. Some areas contain four levels of navigation.
The site map reveals a fairly lopsided architecture with many types of pages.
