Information Architecture

Project Overview

This was part of my mentorship program with the Linux foundation.I assessed the IA of the Update Frameworks project website to ensure they met CNCF standards. I also redesigned the website into a new accessible hugo theme to ensure ease of onboarding process

Problem Space & Business Needs

• There was repeated information throughout the documentation.
• There was no new contributor information making onboarding harder for new contributors.
• The website did not have a search function making it difficult for users to find information.
• The overall look of the website was upto CNCF standards.

My Role & Deliverables

• I identified 25+ vulnerabilities on the website and presented to the team for brainstorming.
• Assisted in the selection of a better Hugo theme that addressed the concerns in the assessment report.
• Assisted in the migration and publication of the website under the new theme.
• Added accessibility features on the website such as captions on photos and videos and also suggested rewrote sections to include accessible language.

Outcomes & Business Impact

• A new website with an accessible and efficient theme that can be used by people of all abilities.
• Categorized content using Diataxis making onboarding content accessible to new users.
• Users can now search for content on the website.
