Architektura informacji w witrynach internetowych Prawa i Sprawiedliwości oraz Platformy Obywatelskiej.

Purpose/Thesis: The main objective of the presented study is to assess the quality of information architecture on the websites of Law and Justice (PiS) and Civic Platform (PO), the dominant parties in Polish politics. Approach/Methods: The research methodology comprises a qualitative-heuristic assessment of the information architecture on the websites of PiS and PO, expert assessment, a comparative analysis of selected websites and the author's own observations. Results and conclusions: Although both sites are of standard quality, they have been designed with the principles of functionality in mind. They lack some important components of information architecture. The website of PO is of marginally higher quality than the website of PiS. Practical implications: The results of the conducted research may have an impact not only on the assessment of the parties' technological advancement, but also on their image and public perception, and therefore also their effectiveness in reaching their voters. Originality/Cognitive value: The study shows a new interpretation of a qualitative and heuristic assessment based on 74 criteria concerning the needs and competences of the user of a given website. This approach will advance the research into websites and thus improve the quality of user experience, allowing for a seamless implementation of information processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
