Interaction Design

The basic elements in Interaction Design:

1. Organization
2. Navigation
3. Interactivity

*How the information will be organized on the pages ?

1. Category – organization through similarity and relatedness (categories, tags, taxonomies). Organize your content by categories when there are clusters of similarity in you information or when people will naturally seek that information based on perceived similarities.
2. Time – organization in a chronological sequence (step-by-step instructions, blog posts, news). Organize content by time when presenting or comparing events over a specific duration of time or when time based sequence is important to the information.
3. Location – organization through geographical or spatial reference (maps, travel guides). Organize content by location when orientation or wayfinding are important or when your information relates to a geographical place
4. Alphabet – organization in an alphabetical sequence (dictionary, glossary, index). Organize content by alphabet when the information is referential, when nonlinear access is required, or when no other means of organization is acceptable.
5. Continuum – organization by magnitude (baseball statistics, search results, ratings). Organize content by continuum when comparing things across a common measure; highest to lowest, best to worst, first to last.
