Pat’s Point of View

I’m quite looking forward to taking part in this year’s WebDU conference in June. I’ll be presenting Demystifying Information Architecture which will be aimed at web designers and developers who have more than likely heard of this IA thing, but perhaps aren’t entirely sure what it is or how to go about doing it properly.

In some ways I’ll be continuing my efforts to engage with developers, a process I first started with my WSG presentation Intranets–why you should care. That was fairly well received but this time I will have to combat the stigma of ‘those bloody usability people’ instead of the intranet stigma.

If you’re a web designer, developer or producer/manager, what is it you’d like to know about IA and usability? How could I demystify it for you?

If the website and my initial contact with the organisers are anything to go by, then it should be a pretty fun two days. And I’m pretty chuffed with my animated avatar!
