Website Architecture by SY Web Design
Information architecture (IA) is the approach you take to structure and navigation on your website. This is always something to consider when designing a website or performing a face-lift to an existing one. This will have an impact on how you start the design of your site. Each site has a lot of variables to ease, usage and flow with respect to the industry it will be focused for.
