Why is Information Architecture so important?

Every design decision comes out of that architecture. Information architecture is the base for great UI & UX projects. It is the blueprint of an application or website which allows us to build all other aspects – navigation, interface, interaction and visual design.

At functional aesthetics we have applied the following principles:

– less clicks is not necessarily better
– few options shown = more decisions made
– group & order by frequency of use & complexity
– hack your own experience
