Designing Large-Scale Web Sites
The post-Ajaxian Web 2.0 world of wikis, folksonomies, and mashups makes well-planned information architecture even more essential. How do you present large volumes of information to people who need to find what they’re looking for quickly? This classic primer shows information architects, designers, and web site developers how to build large-scale web sites that are manageable, appealing, and easy to navigate.
This new edition of Information Architecture for the World Wide Web is thoroughly updated to address emerging technologies—with recent examples, new scenarios, and information on best practices—yet it maintains its focus on fundamentals. Topics range from aesthetics to mechanics and include:
An overview of information architecture for both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
The fundamental components of an architecture, demonstrating the interconnected nature of these systems, with updates for tagging, folksonomies, social classification, and guided navigation.
Tools, techniques, and methods that take you from research to strategy and design to implementa¬tion. This edition discusses blueprints, wireframes, and the role of diagrams in the design phase.
A series of short essays that provide practical tips and philosophical advice for those who work on information architecture.
The business of practicing and promoting information architecture, including recent lessons on how to handle enterprise architecture.
Case studies on the evolution of two large and very different information architectures, illustrating best practices along the way.
With an emphasis on goals and approaches over tactics or technologies, this enormously popular book gives you knowledge about information architecture with a framework that allows you to learn new approaches—and unlearn outmoded ones.
