Information Architecture
Information architecture refers to how content is organized, labeled, and structured within your intranet. It includes how pages are grouped, how navigation is built, and how users find what they need without getting overwhelmed or lost.
For banks and credit unions, good information architecture reduces confusion and improves staff productivity. It ensures that employees can quickly find policies, forms, procedures, and resources - especially during audits, emergencies, or service moments where time matters.
Why It Matters
Even the most useful content is wasted if it's buried in the wrong section or hidden behind vague links. A clear structure reduces duplicate documents, supports search, and ensures new employees can navigate the intranet without constant training.
Key Elements of Intranet Information Architecture
- Logical page categories and folder structures
- Consistent naming conventions for pages and files
- Clear navigation menus with minimal layers
- Search-optimized headings, breadcrumbs, and tags
