What is Card Sorting?

Card sorting is a simple technique that allows you to get feedback from your users about how information should be organized. Originally, researchers wrote labels on 3 x 5 cards or sticky notes, and asked participants to sort the cards into piles that were similar. Then the participants would label each pile. Using statistics and/or "eyeballing" the results across several participants, researchers were able to create better information structures.

With WebSort, card sorting is done online. People can complete your study from anywhere in the world, and you benefit from expert analysis tools that help you make sense of the data.
