What is information architecture

Information architecture is how the knowledge base is organized so users can find answers quickly. A strong structure makes the knowledge base easier to browse, search, maintain, and connect to an AI chatbot.

What VRSJO designs

  • Category and subcategory structure

[TIP: Structure before writing] Getting the structure right before writing saves significant rework later. A well-organized knowledge base is easier to expand and maintain over time.
