What is a Core model?
The core model is used to make an inventory of a page’s core content. It forces you to think about what content is necessary to help the user and achieve company goals. Besides defining the main content of the page, this model also takes inward and outward paths into account. So, how does a user get to this screen and where will he go next.
Why should you use the core model?
The core model is a mapping method, which helps to identify the most important pages on the site and identify their content. It allows you to start thinking collaboratively by including different disciplines in your design process. This approach helps you to align all stakeholders in the early stages of the project, find agreement upon pages and content, and create awareness of the different natural ‘routes’ users take to navigate through the site.
