How is a website's information architecture managed?

Website Information Architecture

Normal websites can have their information architecture (IA) arranged very primitively or in very advanced ways.

For small sites, the IA model may be to simply have a few pages arranged in the same folder, all of which are linked to each other in some manner or another.

For a larger website, the pages might be in folders and sub-folders, and the links between the sites will multiply and become more complicated. Other systems for managing IA are possible. For example, a CMS (content management system) may be used to allow users to structure their data without intervention, allowing for easy archiving and organization at a later point in time.
