Card Sorting • Several methods to ensure your website

is built with users in mind. • Card sorting: another popular way to

prioritize user-friendliness. • Card sorting is a group exercise that can

gather data on what users look for in a

website. • Using (around 30 to 40) index cards,

participants unfamiliar with the product

are asked to write down and prioritize content that they find most valuable in

site’s design.

Why Card Sorting?Information architects and other digital innovators make use of card sorting to create overall structure for their information. Once a strategy is planned out, companies either opt to test these decisions one at a time or decide to have groups sort together.

There are two primary types of card sorting: Open Sorting and Close Sorting. Conducting an open-card sort has participants sorting all the cards into different groups, then naming those groups according to what niches or categories they best fill. Closed sorting, on the other hand, is very similar, except that the tester comes up with predefined categories and has test subject come up to sort the cards into those defined areas.

Some companies do their card sorting in person,with the designer monitoring the sorting process and seeing how users make their decisions, the test is also a good fit for the digital workplace. With people's busy schedules, remote group chats allow equally convenient ways to gather information, helping easily read out notes and handle web material. There are several online card sorting programs that companies can purchase or access for free, with many options for setting up tests, as well as helpful tutorials for analyzing the final data. LiveTiles also helps facilitate this type of platform usability testing.

Card Sorting and LiveTiles…Through the use of chat programs like Yammer and Skype for Business, LiveTiles provides a number of easy ways for designers and users alike to interact together and plan out strategies. Microsoft OneDrive and OneNote, both built in to the LiveTiles intranet system, allow for easy document sharing, where edits can be made from any device.

Since these programs come readymade for the entire Microsoft Office suite, it's a perfect fit for the Excel spreadsheets or slideshows of PowerPoint and comes integrated with gallery sliders that, quite simply, make content look good. The detailed information you expect from clients comes to you in a rich, streamlined form you just as the data is rendered.

The importance of user input in UX and UI cannot be underestimated. Employing these methods can turn user feedback into a gorgeous and secure website in all regards.

CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

“You’d probably rather not spent your time on the phone. But when you have to, it’s nice to put a face to a name and voice. Skype, the original video-conferencing software, is still the perfect utility for small and growing businesses. With long roots in the industry, and millions of users, Skype remains free to call for other users and you’re able to buy credits to cheaply call landlines and mobiles (even internationally !)”.
