Organising content - classification schemes

Donna Spencer considers a range of ways to approach the organisation of your website's content.



She discusses a range of approaches, and when each might be the best option. I found this a useful discussion (much more so than Nielsen's Alphabetic Sorting Must Die) and liked the examples Donna drops in.

Donna considers:

• Alphabetic
• Geographic
• Format
• Organisational structure
• Task
• Audience
• Subject / topic
