Visual Design Can’t Compensate for Bad Structure
An interface may look modern and attractive at first glance and may demo well, but if the information architecture is poor, it will be a painful experience to navigate and use. Likewise, if the quality of interacting with the various elements of your UI is inconsistent, overly complicated, or error-prone, it will be painful to use. Defining the navigational elements and page structure based on an understanding of user workflow and defining consistently implemented interactions throughout ensure optimal usability.
Card Sorts
A card sort is a valuable research activity when designing navigational systems. Participants organize navigation labels into logical categories revealing how they expect the interface to be organized.

Site maps document the organization of the pages on your website. User flow diagrams show not only the pages and navigation elements, but also the workflow, user inputs, and system responses in a flow diagram format.
Contact Us to Learn MoreWireframes
Wireframes are low-fidelity representations of the unique page types in your website, product, or app. They are particularly useful in communicating detailed design direction to developers. They can also be linked together to create interactive prototypes to test the quality of interaction design.
