Key skills such as card sorting will be taught, and this workshop is designed to build in-house information architecture skills. A must for all web or intranet teams. IA provides a rich toolbox of techniques and frameworks to ensure that websites and intranets are structured in a way that makes sense to users. At the end of the day you will be ready to tackle the information architecture, navigation and page layouts for a small to medium site or part of a larger site. *Who is this workshop for?* When redesigning (or designing) a website or intranet, it is critical that users be able to easily find what they want on the new site. This does not happen by chance. Best practice information architecture techniques should be followed to ensure that the desired project outcomes are actually achieved. IA should therefore be core knowledge for all web and intranet teams. This workshop provides the foundation for building these skills in-house within organisations. It also provides the knowledge required to better manage consultants or contractors who have been engaged to conduct this work on the site. Please note, this is a introductory workshop designed to build core skills, and is not suitable for intermediate or experienced practitioners. *See website for prices and registration details* 403 Australia One day workshop presented by Step Two Designs.
