1 year ago As a Service Design Team we need to plan the IA for the new website. The new website will have different types of users at different parts of the criminal justice journey. The IA for the website will be complex and requires meticulous planning and foresight of the types of information and resources that will be available to our users.
Please see some examples below of how other services, departments and organisations have considered Information Architecture.

ISSUES:
The typical site information architecture for a LocalGov Drupal Site is structured into groups of service content that are delivered in a variety of styles.
LocalGov Drupal ships with a number of predefined content templates known as content types. These have been architected following guidance from the GOV.UK Design System.
We plan to group our content around this concept of services, which may or may not map to the departments within the criminal justice system itself. Services can contain various types of content - pages, guides, step by steps, directories (of places or things) and news.
Subsites exist outside services and allow for more campaign-like sites, with different designs, more complex content components and multi-column layouts to be created on the fly by content designers.
Events also exist outside services.
