The Basic Toolset

Interactive information architecture organizes site content and functionality so that it aligns with the mission of site sponsors and the goals of site users. It also means planning for change and growth over time.

Interactive architecture design maps meaningful connections between chunks of content and makes the paths through that content natural for the customer.
