Information Architecture Basics

Overview

The backbone of every successful digital product is Information Architecture (IA) — the practice of structuring content, navigation, and functionality to ensure users find what they need quickly and easily. Information Architecture Basics introduces beginners to the principles and techniques of IA, helping you design digital experiences that are clear, intuitive, and user-friendly.

This course teaches how UX, user research, wireframing, usability testing, and interaction design all work together to create cohesive and organized digital products. With lifetime access, hands-on exercises, and expert guidance, you’ll learn how to think like a user and structure content in ways that enhance usability and engagement.
