Site maps and wireframes (storyboards) that map out the navigation model and content of each page are created to serve as a blueprint to the design and development teams. Using these as both a reference and a framework for the build of the site, information is exchanged between client and ALMLogix team through this visual format.

Gathering the requirements for the wireframes from subject matter experts (SMEs) is essential to the success of each project. The information that is gathered during this phase allows us to see whether or not we've covered the critical paths to our clients' business contacts/customers, and gives them the opportunity to analyze where content and/or its presentation may need adjusting.

Information architecture components for a typical ALMLogix Studio project include:

- Requirements gathering
- Data analysis
- Navigation strategy
- Nomenclature strategy
- Wireframes
- Site and Navigation Maps
- Internal testing

A team, made up of Information Architects and Business Analysts who have both educational and relevant business experience, produces these components with engagements ranging from ten to ten-thousand pages. Teamwork, communication, cognitive research and thorough content analysis are the cornerstones of the successful development of a Web site, application or multimedia presentation
