Card sorting is a UX research technique where participants organize topics into categories that make sense to them. It helps uncover users' mental models, resulting in intuitive navigation and information architecture. This tool brings the process online, allowing you to freely group content items and refine taxonomy terms without physical cards or complex software.

1. Add cards representing your content items (e.g., blog posts, product pages).
2. Create groups for your taxonomy categories.
3. Move cards into groups by clicking to select, then choosing a destination, or by dragging and dropping (desktop).
4. Click "Generate Taxonomy" to see a structured outline of your groups and the cards they contain.
5. Copy the result and use it to inform your website's navigation or sitemap.

A taxonomy is a classification system that organizes content into hierarchical categories and subcategories. It's the backbone of information architecture, affecting navigation menus, breadcrumbs, and related content sections. A well-defined taxonomy improves user experience and helps search engines understand your site structure, boosting SEO.

Yes. After you click "Generate Taxonomy," the tool displays a structured text outline. You can copy it to your clipboard with a single click and paste it into a document, spreadsheet, or wireframe tool. For more permanent storage, consider bookmarking your browser session—though we recommend copying the results before refreshing.

Search engines like Google use your site's structure to understand content relationships. A logical taxonomy, reflected in clean URLs, breadcrumbs, and internal linking, helps crawlers index your pages more effectively. It also provides opportunities to target long-tail keywords within category pages and improves user engagement metrics—both of which positively influence rankings.
