Information Hunting: Does a Nice Lay-out Matter?
Tuesday Jun 17, 2008
Our team had a discussion yesterday on introducing a team wiki, followed by a traditional website vs wiki discussion.
During the brainstorming one team member commented that when we communicate with our internal audience, when that audience is coming to our information source (wiki or website), the way that the information is presented (look and feel, lay-out, ...) is very important. Her argument therefore supports the use of a website.
My counterargument was that if people are looking for information they put the quality of the information above the nice look and feel of the location where they find the information. Needless to say I support the use of a wiki ;-) To me it is more important to have good data rather than a nice website with poor data.
What we do agree upon is that the structure of the wiki or website should be simple, meaning that it's intuitive to use and easy to find the quality information that our team produces.
My question to you is as such: Do you care about the lay-out of a website if you are looking for internal information? If you are doing something similar than our team, would you go for a wiki or website?
