Content Architecture

I was talking to my friend who's a web designer on revamping my finance website - http://thefinance.sg. Besides improving on my layout, she shared with me on what else I should do.

This means re-organizing my information and links. As I'm using the older wordpress version, migration might be a problem if the information is not organized properly.

Step 2: Information Architecture
I currently have about 20 categories in my finance website which is too many. I need to reduce that further. In addition, I will have to re-label my categories into something more 'user-friendly'.
