Information Architecture
Finding information can be as important as using it.
There are three sets of skills at the core of successful web applications. The first is developer talent, knowledge and experience. Second is the skill of running the infrastructure for the applications. However, these two skills are useless if the application is difficult to use and not intuitive. Information Architecture is the art and science of structuring the application and your content so that what’s important to your customers is quickly accessible. It’s more than just a pretty design, it’s a careful analysis of design, actual usage patterns, and structure.
Saturn Flyer has a solid foundation in Information Architecture, including Section 508 compliance and accessibility. Applications and content should be attractive, easy for their users to navigate, and available to all. Many organizations realize they need these ‘soft’ skills at the end of a project, when changes to the application or content structure are more costly than if they had been baked in from the beginning. If you have great developers, but need help with information architecture (especially accessibility), Saturn Flyer can augment your talent to give you and your customers the results you need.
