Budgeting for Information Architecture and Usability

Budgeting for information architecture and usability services can prove to be a challenge. Ten to fifteen percent (10-15%) of the total project budget is a good estimate.

Those not familiar with the importance of information architecture and usability will dismiss the idea quickly. But would you rather spend an extra ten-fifteen percent now or another 100% in a year because you need to overhaul a poorly planned site the confuses users and employees?
