Information Architecture Essentials (Sydney, Brisbane)

We've started our event calendar for the year with a new round of our ever-popular Information Architecture Essentials workshops:

• Sydney: 9 April 2008
• Brisbane: 18 June 2008

In this one-day workshop, Patrick Kennedy will present the fundamentals of information architecture (IA), the core methodology for organising and designing websites and intranets. 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.

During the workshop, you will learn:

• the importance of balancing the requirements of users and business
• techniques to gather information about the needs of your audience
• the meaning behind commonly used IA jargon
• ways that information can be organised
• how to create a taxonomy for your site
• the importance of good labelling to help people find what they need
• how to design navigation methods and page layouts
• processes to follow for IA projects
