Christopher Franks (11390956)

This site provides access to the interactive web site mockup and supporting description of design and information architecture features completed as part of assignment 3 for INF440 Information Architecture for the Web.

The assignment consists of three parts:

• producing short written evaluations of two information architecture tools, the Plone open source content management system and the OmniGraffle diagramming software
• producing a mockup/wireframe design of a simple interactive website to provide access to the IA tool evaluations and allow users to discuss the evaluations in a Web 2.0/social web environment, along with a supporting discussion of the site's design features and the information architecture principles applied
• developing and deplying a simple one-page web site (this site) to host and provide access to the mockup and supporting description document

The site mockup/wireframe design and site map were produced using OmniGraffle, one of the information architecture tools evaluated, along with the Garrett and Konigi 'stencils' noted in the evaluation.
