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.
