What is information architecture and why does it matter in UX design?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information architecture is the process of organizing, labeling, and structuring content within a given system or environment\u2014such as a website or an app.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of information architecture is to make it as easy as possible for the user to find what they\u2019re looking for and complete their tasks. On an e-commerce website, for example, the user should be able to quickly find relevant products, add them to their cart, and complete the checkout process.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information architecture is a fundamental pillar of <a class=\"my_course_entity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/ui-ux-design\/what-is-ux-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user experience (UX) design<\/a>. It creates a logical and intuitive system that\u2019s straightforward to navigate, enhancing the overall usability and accessibility of the product.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll find a more in-depth explanation in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/ui-ux-design\/information-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complete guide to information architecture<\/a>, together with a step-by-step framework to take you through the process of creating information architecture.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, though, let\u2019s outline the key principles that underpin this important discipline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a class=\"downlaod_courses_anch mob_wd_an my_pop_show1\" href=\"#brochure\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image4-5.png\" class=\"wp-image-11117\"\/><\/figure><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"The\">2. The 8 principles of information architecture&nbsp;<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are eight fundamental principles of information architecture:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. The principle of objects:<\/strong> Each piece of content should be treated as an individual object with its own unique function, characteristics, and behaviours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2. The principle of choices: <\/strong>Present the user with meaningful choices when interacting with a product\u2014but don\u2019t overwhelm them with too many options. Each set of choices should be focused on just one specific task.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3. The principle of disclosure: <\/strong>Information should be revealed progressively bit by bit so as not to overwhelm the user. When booking a flight, for example, you won\u2019t be shown seating options until you\u2019ve selected a specific flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4. The principle of exemplars: <\/strong>When displaying multiple categories, use exemplars to describe the contents contained within each category. Exemplars are like visual clues that tell the user what to expect from each category.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5. The principle of front doors: <\/strong>Users won\u2019t always land on a website via the homepage; they might enter via a blog post or a product page, for example. These additional entry points should provide enough information to help the user understand where they are within the information architecture and navigate to other pages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6. The principle of multiple classification: <\/strong>Not everybody searches for information in the same way, so it\u2019s important to have multiple pathways\u2014i.e. classification systems\u2014that lead back to the same content. When searching for a pair of shoes, for example, some users will filter by the brand while others may browse based on color.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>7. The principle of focused navigation: <\/strong>A website\u2019s navigation system should provide a clear, straightforward pathway for the user to follow. It should be as streamlined as possible, and be optimized for the completion of specific tasks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>8. The principle of growth: <\/strong>Assume that the content within your information architecture will grow and evolve over time. Make sure your IA is scalable and adaptable to accommodate future content.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let\u2019s explore these principles in action with some real-world examples of good information architecture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Information\">3. Effective information architecture in action: 5 examples (and what we can learn from them)<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Notting\">1. The Notting Hill Bookshop<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might recognize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenottinghillbookshop.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Notting Hill Bookshop<\/a> from a certain 90s rom-com, but we think the website deserves a special mention for entirely different reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its delightfully straightforward navigation, clear-as-day menu labels, and a multitude of filtering options, this is one of the best website information architecture examples around.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info5.webp\" alt=\"Notting Hill Bookshop's Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-11119\" title=\"Notting Hill Bookshop's Homepage\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, there\u2019s the homepage with a simple main menu featuring five distinct categories. Each menu item is clearly labeled, making it obvious to the user what each menu item relates to and where it\u2019ll take them.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s the very easy-to-spot headline at the top of the page, which remains in place throughout the website. This enables the user to quickly navigate back to the homepage from any point.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navigate to the \u2018Books\u2019 category and you\u2019ll find a broad variety of filtering and sorting options. You can filter by availability, author, collection, or genre, and sort the results alphabetically or based on price and recency. This is a great example of the principle of multiple classification, allowing the user to quickly find what they\u2019re looking for based on their preferred means of browsing.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info1.webp\" alt=\"Clear, logical and easy-to-follow information architecture of Notting Hill Bookshop's website\r\n\" class=\"wp-image-11115\" title=\"Clear, logical and easy-to-follow information architecture of Notting Hill Bookshop's website\r\n\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, the information architecture is clear, logical, and easy to follow\u2014which is especially important when you\u2019re presenting lots of different products and product types.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway\">The takeaway:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Use clear, self-explanatory menu labels<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>When you\u2019re listing lots of different products and product types, implement advanced search functionality with extensive filtering options<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Provide straightforward navigation pathways that guide the user through your website<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"IKEA\">2. IKEA<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve ever shopped at IKEA, you\u2019ll know that navigating the store\u2019s rather complicated floor plan can feel like being lost in a maze. Fortunately, the online experience is much more straightforward\u2014thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IKEA website\u2019s<\/a> highly effective information architecture.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info10a.webp\" alt=\"IKEA's website featuring sections for design inspiration, tips, ideas and trends\r\n\" class=\"wp-image-11124\" title=\"IKEA's website featuring sections for design inspiration, tips, ideas and trends\r\n\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to an extremely vast product catalogue, the IKEA website features design inspiration in the form of tips, ideas, and trends, as well as a virtual planning service. That\u2019s a lot of content to navigate, with the potential to become incredibly overwhelming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with a clear and intuitive navigation system, a consistent structure throughout, and plenty of visual aids\u2014plus a robust search functionality\u2014finding your way around the IKEA website is no hassle at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main product categories are prominently displayed, with subcategories logically organized within them. This clear information hierarchy helps users navigate the site and find what they\u2019re looking for.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info7.webp\" alt=\"IKEA's product catalogue featuring consistent layout and labelling\r\n\" class=\"wp-image-11121\" title=\"IKEA's product catalogue featuring consistent layout and labelling\r\n\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each section of the website follows a consistent structure in terms of layout, labeling, and functionality, enabling the user to quickly learn how the system works and predict where they can find certain types of content or products.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s the use of visual cues throughout, helping to aid navigation and comprehension. Each product category has a featured image, letting you know what kind of products to expect within that section (remember the principle of exemplars?), and icons and graphics help to guide the user towards certain actions\u2014such as saving an item to their wishlist or adding it to their basket.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info17.webp\" alt=\"New favourites section on IKEA's website to help with user decision-making\" class=\"wp-image-11131\" title=\"New favourites section on IKEA's website to help with user decision-making\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info13.webp\" alt=\"Product listing with a vast set of filtering options\" class=\"wp-image-11127\" title=\"Product listing with a vast set of filtering options\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, you\u2019ll find an expansive set of options for filtering through products\u2014whether you want to search by color, price, or other customers\u2019 ratings (to name just a few).&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IKEA website provides a great example of how to structure a vast array of content in a logical and consistent format.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway-0\">The takeaway:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>If you\u2019ve got a vast library of content, logical categories, and subcategories are key<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Use the principle of exemplars to provide visual clues as to what\u2019s included in each category<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Consistency is crucial; make sure each section follows a similar format&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/ui-ux-design\/website-ui-design-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 Stunning Examples of Website UI Design to Inspire Your Next Project<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Clever\">3.

According to this principle, there are many different entry points through which a user can land on your website; they may not always come via the homepage. As such, it\u2019s important to design your information architecture with different entry points in mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of The Clever Meal, you might land on the website through a Google search. If you search \u2018vegan chickpea soup recipe\u2019, for example, The Clever Meal is one of the first results that come up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info12.webp\" alt=\"Google search result of vegan chickpea soup recipe\" class=\"wp-image-11126\" title=\"Google search result of vegan chickpea soup recipe\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you click the search result, you go straight to that specific recipe page. In addition to the recipe you wanted, the page also contains a clearly labeled main menu, a prominent search bar, and, to the right-hand side, a brief introduction to Katia (the owner of the blog) and a description of what the blog is all about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ensures that newcomers to the website quickly understand what to expect from the site\u2014and that they can easily navigate to and explore different pages and sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info2.webp\" alt=\"Vegan garlic chickpea soup page encouraging users to explore Katia's social platforms\" class=\"wp-image-11116\" title=\"Vegan garlic chickpea soup page encouraging users to explore Katia's social platforms\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The page also features social icons prominently above the fold, encouraging the user to navigate to Katia\u2019s various social platforms. This is a great way to guide the user towards specific actions and encourage further engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway-1\">The takeaway:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Remember the principle of front doors; provide clear navigation links on each page so the user can easily find their way around if they land on your website through a page other than the homepage&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Information architecture guides the user towards certain actions\u2014so if you want to encourage website visitors to click through to social media, for example, display the relevant icons prominently in the information hierarchy<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pocket\">4.

This enables the user to effortlessly switch back and forth between browsing content suggestions and viewing their own curated lists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the app, content is organized in a logical and consistent manner. You can view your saved items in a list format sorted by date, title, or tag\u2014and, to make it easy to find specific content later on, you can categorize your saved items with tags.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/mob.webp\" alt=\"Easy search and save functionality for information organisation\" class=\"wp-image-11129\" title=\"Easy search and save functionality for information organisation\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pocket also includes robust search functionality, displayed prominently at the top of the app. So, if you\u2019ve got a specific piece of content in mind, you can quickly search and locate it within your saved items.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the Pocket mobile app provides a great example of effective information architecture by prioritizing simplicity, clear and logical organization, and usability\u2014ultimately enhancing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/ui-ux-design\/what-is-ux-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user experience<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway-2\">The takeaway:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>When designing information architecture for a mobile app, you have limited screen space\u2014so prioritize and present only the most important content<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Use elements such as bottom navigation bars and hamburger menus to ensure easy navigation from one section of the app to the next<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Incorporate a prominently featured search bar to allow for more precise navigation&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/ui-ux-design\/complete-guide-to-app-ui-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Complete Guide to Mobile App UI Design (With Examples)<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Delta\">5. Delta Air Lines<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to booking flights (or indeed anything travel-related), it feels like there are a million different steps to go through\u2014from choosing a flight and selecting your seat to deciding what size luggage to take\u2026and the list goes on and on.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a process calls for meticulously designed information architecture, and we can turn to the Delta Air Lines website for a great example.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/info6.webp\" alt=\"Homepage of Delta Air Lines allowing easy flight search\" class=\"wp-image-11120\" title=\"Homepage of Delta Air Lines allowing easy flight search\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, the website homepage is very clearly designed to facilitate one specific action: searching and booking a flight.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides the main menu, the most prominent feature in the content hierarchy is the flight search field. This is an excellent example of the principle of focused navigation, which states that a website\u2019s navigation system should be optimized to guide users toward their intended goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter your origin and destination locations, select your dates, and click the \u2018search\u2019 button and you\u2019ll be taken to the results page. Here you\u2019ll find an excellent example of another key principle in action: the principle of disclosure.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the principle of disclosure, it\u2019s good practice to reveal information progressively as and when it\u2019s needed.
