Information Architecture – Health and Fitness

January 2018

Problem Statement​

The project focused on capturing information architecture (IA) requirements, designing, and evaluating solutions with potential users for an information-rich, web-based domain of our choice.

Objectives:

  • Capture IA Requirements: Identify and document the information architecture requirements within an information-rich domain of your choice.
  • Design IA for a Web-Based Environment: Develop the IA for a web-based information environment (e.g., website, online store, intranet, or web-based app) in your chosen domain. The design should:
    • Effectively organise and label information.
    • Support seamless navigation and help users locate the information they need.
  • Evaluate IA Design: Assess the design from an IA perspective by conducting evaluations with potential users, ensuring it meets their needs and usability expectations.

Process and Outcome​

The chosen domain was Health and Fitness. Balsamiq Mockups was used as the design tool to create the information architecture. The deliverables included:

Sitemap: A hierarchical structure of the website's content.

User Journey: A detailed outline of user interactions and navigation paths.

Wireframes: Visual representations of key pages to illustrate layout and functionality.

This approach ensured a user-centred design tailored to the needs of the domain.
