Card Sorting![]() Successful...
all rely on knowing where users expect to find things. Guessing is not a good solution to this problem and usability testing is not appropriate for determining how a significant number of items should be organized. Card sorting is an ideal user-centred solution to many issues of organization. It is relatively quick even for a large number of items and with skilled use can provide a wide range of useful data regarding the items sorted, categories (groups) and the participants themselves.
