What is Information architecture: Information Architecture, according to Wikipedia, is “the art and science of organizing and labeling websites … to support usability.“

What is UX: According to the same source, User Experience is “the way a person feels about using a product, system or service. [This includes] a person’s perceptions of the practical aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency of the system.”

IA / UX encompasses the whole creative and organizing spectrum.  Planning out and creating a usable experience that is simple, easy and gets the job done while leaving a memorable impression for the user.

Do you have a Creative background and need to learn how to organize and think about websites and interactive applications from the ground up? Or do you have the organization down but want to learn how to add the creative WOW that makes a business or service stand out and gain a solid base of repeat customers?

Either way, Brainco’s IA / UX certificate program can get you the training and physical projects to show your skills and get you hired!
