The content, structure and presentation of the Web
are the basis of the structure, not the other way around. The content reflects a certain structure to a certain extent, but not all. The original content is equivalent to the RAW format of a digital photo without processing, but even the unprocessed content contains a certain structure. For example, when we read a piece of text, it may contain a title, body, and paragraph (these attributes are passed through Discovered by reading, not by performance), etc. This is the structure. In order to distinguish, the structure reflected in the content is called internal structure (content structure).
The above is only for a paragraph of text. The foundation of the Internet is web pages and hyperlinks, which form the flow of pages. This page flow is also part of the structure and is the focus of interaction design: the processing of requests (Request) and responses (Respond). The structure mentioned here cannot be reflected by the content. For convenience, it is called external structure (interaction structure).
The inner structure and the outer structure together form the structure of the Web site. This structure is the basis for all performance. Without this structure there would be no performance. Structure is not wireframe. Wireframe is a visual representation of structure and a communication tool in the development process. From content to structure to performance, it is also the process of most website designs.
Many articles ignore the importance of content. Content is the basis of web pages. All content involved in this article only refers to text, images (excluding decorative pictures), audio, and video. It would be too troublesome to explain this definition logically. So what is prompt feedback during the interaction process? It cannot be attributed to content or structure alone, it should be a combination of the two.
Usually when people talk about structure and performance, they also mention behavior. According to my understanding, behavior should belong to the external structure, that is, the interaction structure. Why should behavior be mentioned separately and compared with structure and performance? Because of the popularity of Web standards, the most talked about are structure, performance and behavior. The three are implemented by (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript respectively. In HTML, the structure is the various HTML tags and their attributes, and the content is the data contained between the start tag and the end tag. As for performance, it is the CSS implementation part.
The job of information architecture is to deal with the internal structure and part of the external structure, and to present the content according to people's psychology (habits); the job of interaction design is to deal with the external structure, and on the premise that it does not affect the internal structure; the job of visual design is Address the presentation of content and structure without compromising content and structure. Therefore, information architects often work together with interaction designers or are the same person (often following the entire design process, including presentation design). On the contrary, visual designer is a position that is easier to distinguish.
Content, structure and performance are related to all aspects of life and work. Make a PPT, make a report, travel plan, etc., not just the Web. And more structured content will be the direction of Web development.
