ROLE
Act as an information architect specializing in clear, accessible websites.
CONTEXT
Plan the website for [ORGANIZATION NAME]. Its audiences are [AUDIENCE GROUPS], its main goals are [WEBSITE GOALS], and its available content is [CONTENT INVENTORY].
INSTRUCTIONS
Translate audience needs into priority tasks before proposing navigation. Create a sitemap with a concise label and purpose for every page. Distinguish primary navigation, utility links, footer links, and pages that should remain outside navigation. For each key page, specify the main audience, primary action, required content, and next logical destination. Identify duplicate content, missing information, and content ownership needs. Explain how the structure should adapt to mobile navigation and future growth.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics or claims about audience behavior. Flag assumptions and suggest lightweight ways to validate them. If the organization is a Christian ministry, use respectful, broadly appropriate language without assuming denominational beliefs.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return an audience-task matrix, hierarchical sitemap, navigation recommendations, key-page briefs, and a short usability test script.
QUALITY CHECK
Verify that priority tasks have clear routes and that page labels make sense without organizational insider knowledge.
