Information architecture for an editorial website
Organise navigation, topic hubs, content relationships and search around the questions readers actually bring.
Read the story ↗Where content meets experience
A visually polished page does not automatically help someone find an answer. Navigation labels, product descriptions, form feedback and related links belong to one journey. I consider the need each part serves rather than treating the writing as a final decorative layer.
Existing content and established URLs should be inventoried at the beginning. A redesign can preserve, improve or combine material with a documented reason instead of erasing a useful archive.
Areas of focus
- Information architecture and distinct page purposes.
- Editorial structure for websites and e-commerce.
- Meaning and navigation across Turkish and English versions.
- Forms, destinations and user-facing system messages.
- Publishing operations, maintenance and measurement questions.
Useful starting documents
A page inventory, real user tasks and available information sources provide a practical beginning. Writing down each page’s purpose exposes overlapping answers and unexplained sections before the menu is designed.
I value testing actual tasks: finding a guide, understanding a project, changing language and sending a message. Being able to complete these on mobile is part of the design itself, not an optional later check.
Working with implementation
Content decisions should be explicit enough for developers to implement. Page types, fields, translation relationships and publication states need definitions. Otherwise a content panel can become little more than a text box, with the actual publishing rules left outside the system.
SEO and measurement cannot replace useful content. Clear URLs, headings, internal relationships and source records help that content become discoverable. Outcomes should then be evaluated against actual post-launch data.
