My underlying passion is for all things related to information architecture (IA). The more that I expanded my knowledge of IA, the more intersections I found with allied fields. Over the last many years, I have broadened my skill-set to include user experience, search engine optimization and marketing, content strategy and digital marketing. Underlying them all is the foundation of how people look for, consume, organize and act upon information.
Information Architecture (IA)
- Site structure maps
- Internal navigation
- Page layout wireframes
- Taxonomy
User Experience (UX)
Google found the perfect weapon to spin the SEO community into butter. Instead of the usual ranking factors of links and word count, Google turned to user experience metrics (e.g. bounce rate, time on page) to influence position on its search results page. An SEO-centered approach to site structure and design will ensure that your site is findable as well as usable.
