”To dismiss basic contexts such as link colours, page layouts, navigation systems, and visual hierarchy as #39;boring#39; or #39;pedestrian#39; is akin to laughing at a car#39;s steering wheel as unimaginative.“ -- Jeffrey Veen, The Art and Science of Web Design
”Your job is not to design a site hierarchy. Or a site map. Or a search system. Your job is to help users find what they need, regardless of how it#39;s done. So avoid falling into the same trap as your employer or client: Don#39;t assume that the task at hand is to design a predetermined architectural widget instead of a comprehensive architectural approach. Forget this and the result may be the world#39;s most elegant, expensive, and least-used site index.“ -- Lou Rosenfeld, Seven Pitfalls to Avoid in Information Architecture [1]
”There simply are no absolutes in information architecture, because there are so many variables. Users, content, and business context vary so much that your mileage is sure to vary. Trust no gurus.
