The new Freeview website is now live and is looking so much better than it was previously. I was part of the team that assisted in the redevelopment of the site and was in charge of developing the Information Architecture for the new site. Hopefully the new visual design and structure will be welcomed with positive feedback!

Whilst working as a freelance Information Architect at Grand Union I was responsible for developing a set of IA templates that will form the basis of a branded IA toolbox for use across every IA project within the agency. The idea was to improve the consistency and quality of the templates and to ensure that each client experiences the same high quality. This involved redeveloping the existing Visio templates and creating new stencil files based on the Yahoo Design Pattern Library.

Whilst working as a freelance Information Architect at Grand Union I was responsible for developing the new information architecture for the forthcoming redesigned Freeview website. My work included competitor analysis, auditing the existing website and its content and meeting with the client to discuss the needs and objectives of both the business and users.
I delivered a new sitemap and wireframes that incorporated my recommendations for content, layout and technological development. These deliverables were used by both the client and the project team to develop the new site.

I proactively created a set of Crayon-branded IA templates for use within the agency. The aim was to standardise our approach and ensure that each client experienced the same level of service and professionalism from Crayon.

Another proactive piece of work I undertook within Crayon was to create an IA deliverables diagram to illustrate how we should use the different IA tools both within the agency and with clients. The aim was to utilise the correct tool for each job and manage client expectations more effectively.

Rated People is an online service to find domestic tradesmen such as plumbers, electricians and builders in your local area. Companies can create a profile on the site and then bid for work. Customers can advertise a job and then get in contact with the appropriate contractor. I was asked to conduct a speculative audit of the site and its key competitor.
