Özet: Information architecture (IA) has become an important research area within the field of human computer interaction. The growing interest has led to the realization of the need to have validated methods for constructing website IA. Past practice of IA reflected the inclination towards using intuitive mapping of the website builder’s mental model. This paper reports the work that explored on the usability of using the KJ method to categorize and prioritize halal food information labels for the structural design of information space of websites whose content is rich with information on halal. A group of participants consisting of knowledgeable halal information consumers took part in this KJ method exercise to generate a halal hierarchical classification system. A prototype of a halal website using the classification obtained was constructed and tested for its usability and compared to the usability of an existing website for halal information portal. The results of the testing showed that the website IA from the KJ method generated classification produced better results than the existing website of existing halal portal.
