Sitemaps

A sitemap is a graphical representation of the structure or hierarchy of a website. Using a sitemap, an Information Architect can easily show various users, where a specific page or content is located in the overall structure. Sitemaps are used by many of the project stakeholders to clarify the structure of the end product. In my work, I routinely create sitemaps for projects either at the beginning of a project (current IA) or during the course of a project (proposed IA) or both.
