Information Architecture Design
Constructing a system of findability users can follow
Users want to quickly and easily find what they want when interacting with a digital product, website, or application. That’s why we specialize in creating a solid information architecture design from the ground up to meet these user expectations and deliver a seamless user experience.
A vital component of a successful user interface (UI) is a well-built structural foundation and scaffolding in the form of information architecture (IA). IA is both an art and a science, aligning information organization and hierarchy with users’ mental models and business goals. Our skilled information architects at Limina define and guide teams in building extensible site structures, intuitive navigation, and user pathways that support their tasks, creating a framework and information systems that enable a positive user experience.

A truly intuitive experience requires an understanding of the users’ mental model and then reflecting that back to the user through the navigation and available browse pathways.

This was not a conceptually easy project, but it’s clear from the interaction modeling that you understand what we want to accomplish.
– Gary Green, Director Cloud Product Management at Avid
I think the new faceted search interaction model is great and solves a lot of issues we’ve been struggling with. Well considered and very clear.
