Architecture
- Jakob
Nielsen, Nielsen
Norman Group, says
"The first law of e-commerce states that if the customer cannot
find the product, then the customer also cannot buy the product. The
law generalizes to websites and intranets: if users can't find what
they are looking for, they will leave; if employees can't find what
they need, productivity goes down the drain. Avoid lost sales, lost
users, and unproductive employees: get an information architecture that
makes sense to other people - not just to yourself
