Information Architecture
The primary goal of information architecture is to ensure that your audience knows about your organization in a few clicks and is able to find relevant content. Your content must be organized or bucketed in a logical pattern so that all the respective pages can be linked to it.
Before
- There was very basic information about the restaurant and its eclectic menu.
- The header had basic pages which did not convey much about the restaurant.
- There was no footer menu and no clear defined sections with CTAs.
After moving to Humane Club
- The website’s information architecture has been designed to attract potential customers.
- The site description on the top right hand corner of the home page ensures anyone instantly gets context of what’s in store.
- Ease of navigation is ensured with the use of primary heads and a dropdown menu on the header of the home page.
- The footer has sub heads to ensure everything is covered along with the CTA buttons which have been strategically placed throughout the page.
- The contact page was redesigned to ensure customers were able to get all relevant information instantly and clearly.

Powering content through YouTube style playlists
Before
- The restaurant’s menu was in a carousal format which did not allow one to get a bird’s eye view of all the dishes being offered.
- There was no way to filter and search the menu to easily
After moving to Humane Club
- All the content piece is either created as a post (for blogs or talks) or an aggregation (for external links). This ensures reusability of the content and also drastically reduces the length of the page.
- The restaurant menu is presented in a playlist format with each section having a filter and search.

Using visuals and colors that reflects brand identity
Before
- The website had a basic look and feel with a white background.
- There were no vibrant color hues to lend character to the different dishes or the restaurant’s ambience.
After moving to Humane Club

- Rather than add background color to entire page, background color is added only to important sections of the page
- Images are used throughout the website to add context and compliment with the textual content.
