1. Organize information: IA aims to classify and arrange information in a logical and structured manner to help users find the information they need quickly and easily.
2. Improve user experience: By creating a clear and well-structured interface, users can navigate through the site or system easily, reducing confusion, frustration, and mistakes.
3. Enhance usability: IA aims to create a user-friendly interface that is intuitive, easy to use, and requires minimum effort from the user.
4. Increase findability: IA helps users to easily locate the information they seek, helping them to move efficiently to their desired location and find what they need.
5. Improve accessibility: By catering to different users’ needs, including those with disabilities or those using assistive technology such as screen readers, IA ensures that everyone can access information.
6. Enhance content strategy: By bringing together a company's beliefs, goals, and plans, IA can inspire more targeted content creation and a more user-focused approach.
