Card Sorting Results

I should have posted these results a while ago but here they are.
I have separated each top-level category in columns and the rows display the cards that were sorted out by the test participants. The numbers next to each card-row indicate how many participants placed the card under a particular category.


Only a few pages were sorted into categories I did not intend them for, but overall most of the cards were sorted as I expected. Although it was a good learning experience I did not use the results in my final report.
Initially I intended to design a dropdown menu for the site but then I analysed the results of the usability tests and almost everyone liked the menu to the side where they could see all the categories organised in one section. Therefore I changed the style of the menu and since only the top level categories of the menu will be displayed the card sorting results were not used except for one category that was explained in the storyboards.
