Professional Web Site Re/Architecture Defined

Web Site Architecture is the Marriage of Function, Aesthetics, and Message Site-Wide.

"Web site architecture" is a not very well understood term generally. Is it interface design? Is it designing and constructing web sites? Is it taking sites apart and putting them back together so they work better for people? Yes, it can be those things, but it is much more. It means listening to the client first and foremost. It is a way of thinking and visualizing at a systems level, getting inside the minds of the users and creating a solution that breathes life into your internet enterprise and presence.

Are your web site visitors finding and doing what they want and need, and doing it in an easy and enjoyable way that meets your goals as well?

SIMPLICITY: In a successful web site, a visitor can FIND what they want, so they can DO what they want. They will know where they are and how to get and do what they want. They will not struggle, get confused or frustrated and leave. They will use your site as a tool in their enterprise, whatever it is, and in the process your own enterprise will benefit.

ELEGANCE: What kind of message does the visual and functional design of your site convey? Is it the message you want? Does it reflect a concern with QUALITY? Does it show that you are committed to providing your service according to your vision, inspiring respect?

INTEGRITY: The internet is a fantastic vehicle for organizing, storing and transmitting information, yet ultimately it is a vessel for human communications and transactions. This is what must be kept in mind when one is designing for the web. What sort of experience do you want the visitor to have? What is the function of the site? Only you know what you want to communicate with your visitors, and what transactions you want to take place, and it is the role of the architect to put form to that vision and message. The web architect must stay true to what his client wants and the best interest of the client and target audience. Everybody wins if form, function and intent stay in alignment. This is the marriage of function, aesthetics and message.
