3.4 Billion per year: this is the number of page views that all our designs currently generate for our clients. And all sites are growing. What’s the trick?
Making things simple, fast and clear is the trick. At iA, most of the structural, design and programming development is done in code. Our clients can see it evolving in real time from HTML skeleton to release.

Other Work
Mozilla (2009)
In January 2000, T-Online asked us what we’d do if we could design a browser from scratch. Our answer was “Tabs”. Eight years later Aza Raskin, head of user experience at Mozilla, asked us to do a study of what a new tab should look like. Here is our answer.

Web Trend Map
The Web Trend Map is a yearly publication by Information Architects, plotting the Internet’s leading names and domains onto the Tokyo Metro map.
It organises closely associated websites and names, ensuring that every domain is on an appropriate line. As a result, the map produces a web of associations: some provocative, some curious, others ironically accurate.
Now owners of our infamous Web Trend Map Poster can create their own maps, and track links trends in their own networks. Webtrendmap.com is aggregating links posted on twitter and maps them onto isometric maps.
