“Everyday Information Architecture” by Lisa Maria Marquis is a practical guide that explores how to design more intuitive digital experiences through better information architecture (IA). Instead of treating IA as a complex or abstract discipline, Marquis frames it as something we engage with daily—through menus, navigation, structure, and content organization. The book emphasizes how clear, thoughtful structure helps users find what they need while improving the integrity and usability of digital products.
Written in a conversational, approachable tone, the book introduces core IA concepts like hierarchy, labeling, categorization, and navigation patterns, and explains how these principles apply to real-world projects. It’s designed for designers, content strategists, and developers who want to build more usable interfaces—not just by making things look good, but by structuring them in ways that make sense. Whether you’re working on a website redesign or managing complex content systems, this book provides the mindset and tools to think more architecturally about your work.
