	Information architecture is the appropriate organization, classification, and structuring of information.
	Define the organization of information and adapt it to an organizational structure.
	Maintain hierarchical breadth to within 7 ± 2 levels.
	Maintain hierarchical depth to 4 or 5 levels.

Navigation design
Usability of scrolling and searching functions

	Navigation is provided with location, appearance, and functions identical for all pages.

Content design
Clearly communicate site content

	Headings should concisely and directly explain the content
	When the site is text heavy, main headings, subheadings, and lesser subheadings are included.
	Target text volume is half that of printed materials and text is should be factually oriented.

Page design
Visuals and text positioning, visual impression

	Following the flow of eye movement, site layout is based on the Letter Z.
