=Information Architecture =



Given the complexity of the task for students to locate information about Pratt MLS courses, sections offered, professors, etc, we wanted to create a website where organization was simple and navigation was an inherently logical and an organic process.

 Home: The homepage provides a place for general announcements including registration dates, new courses, news about site improvements, etc. The homepage also provides access to a calendar for important dates, archived posts, top rated posts and pages, and the site's twitter page. From the home page, users can access other pages of the website via a tab navigation toolbar across the top of the page.
