Frequently Asked Questions
Card Sorting
What is Card Sorting?
Card sorting is a simple technique that can help you organize data in a way that makes the most sense to your customers or or website visitors. It is often used for designing information architecture, workflows, menu structure, or web site navigation paths.
What can you do with Card Sorting?
With card sorting, you can build your website's structure. For instance, you come to a better decision regarding your homepage and labeling its categories. In addition, you're more certain to organize information on your site in a logical manner for the sake of your users.
Why is it called Card Sorting?
This method was developed before we used computers for anything and everything. Originally, a person conducting Card Sorting exercise would use paper index cards and write terms or items on each of them. Then they would ask participants to sort these "cards" into logical groups. For example, "car" and "bus" could go into a group called "land" while "ship" and "boat" could be placed into a group called "water".
Is Card Sorting a test?
Yes and no. While card sorting doesn't involve testing participants' cognitive abilities, it is a test designed to analyze Information Architecture. Instead of having right or wrong answers like tests do, card sorting provides insights into available options based on the approach of each individual participant.
What Card Sorting type does your tool support?

Does your tool support image sorting?
