The scale of web site design has grown so that what was once comparable to
decorating a room is now comparable to designing buildings or even cities. Designing
sites so that people can find their way around is an ever-growing challenge
as sites contain more and more information.
In the past, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web has helped
developers and designers establish consistent and usable structures for their
sites and their information. This edition of the classic primer on web site
design and navigation is updated with recent examples, new scenarios, and new
information on best practices. Readers will learn how to present large volumes
of information to visitors who need to find what they're looking for quickly.
With topics that range from aesthetics to mechanics, this valuable book explains
how to create interfaces that users can understand easily.
