Designing for Information-Intensive Website
Hi. I am building a hunormous, informatin-intensive website, and truggling how to make it work on mobile.
The website has 5 content-based "sections", and I have come up with a "template" - for each section - which includes maybe 10-12 "sub-sections".
A generic example would be having a section called "Business", and then it would have things like...
- News
- Articles
- Analysis
- Briefs
and so on...
(I've got my Information Architecture pretty well mapped out, but my new website is akin to putting a library onto mobile. What will make my website succeed or fail is how well I can take a vast amount of data and make it easy to navigate while not hiding data people might be interested in!)
Have been looking at online newspapers like NYT, WP, WSJ, etc for ideas, but honestly, I have more information than they do!
Was going to have a hamburger menu which pops out a side drawer displayng content "Sections", and then when you click on a section (e.g. "Business") there would need to be another menu/side-drawer dislaying 10-15 "Sub-Sections" for the given "Section".
Not sure how to proceed...

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
