Iterate 1st tranche of IA guidance after user testing.
Take IA out of headings/page titles
About IA
Make What IA is say "What is IA?" - in fact, this is not good practice. I've called the page "About information architecture" for now.
Headings found to be “jarring” by dyslexic user- H1s, H2s, H3s with very little content in between. I've stripped this back.
Most users want to see more examples, and “see examples of 'not how to do it' vs ' how to do it', to see the value of a good IA and how to do IA”. Am adding a few more examples to help clarify things.
Suggestion of using NHS.uk as a case study for examples throughout the guidance. Have tried to clarify - not as a case study but examples.
Make examples visual (note: only one user saw visuals on Why IA is important)
Iterate images on Why IA is important
Users tried to click blog posts – would be good examples, but need more context: what could I learn from it? Where is the link taking me?” Links to blog posts deleted for the time being.
IA team contact info – add what they can support with, and how to contact- crosslink to other page
IA principles - One user still wanting an example on this page, or linking off to examples on other pages - Linked off to another page.
Your topic in the wider IA
“Topic” not fully explained – users didn’t find a definition, one equated to content. Examples of topics and sub-topics now included.
User confused by word “wider” in title - not sure what to do about this.
IA team contact- add another form of contact for those not on slack - we can't do this. No other means of contact.
No definition of canons, unclear - references to canons deleted
Opportunity to flesh out importance of synonyms using NHS.uk as example
Measure the success of your IA
Agile terms – some users want reference to when this is done (e.g discovery, beta) while others state agile isn’t used by all teams so should be used. Deleted mention of agile phases.
Need to include info on what to do if no access to analytics, or how to gain access - don't think we can deal with this here.
Examples – suggestion of examples needed for internal search, user needs - won't add examples of user needs. This may feature in 2nd tranche. There are examples of internal search on another page.
Definition of information scent from Why IA is important needed here, or cross linked
“content switches between general and NHS specific.. Could the difference be made clearer?”
Overall
More examples, more visual e.g use diagrams - have added more examples but not more visuals at the moment.
How does this fit into a wider design process? Don't think we can deal with this here.
