A card sort can be a useful tool in designing user-friendly website navigation paths. (Navigation paths may take the form of menus or may be the order in which pages are linked.) A card sort is a simple technique in which a group of users are asked to categorize a given set of items.<\/p>\n
Card sorts are traditionally conducted with identical sets of index cards given to groups of 3-6 participants. Each group is asked to put the index cards into categories and to give each category a descriptive name.<\/p>\n
The discussion during a card sort is often as enlightening as the statistical results from the sort. Although an online card sort lacks this in-person anecdotal evidence, an online sort does allow for wider participation and more regulated statistical analyses.<\/p>\n
Surveys and card sorts are tools we use to guide our decision-making. They are not answers to what links or pages \u201cshould\u201d or \u201cshould not\u201d appear on our website or how our website \u201cshould\u201d or \u201cshould not\u201d look.<\/p>\n
