Site Maps
One aspect of your website is to include a site map
A
site map is a visual outline of a Web site showing the
page-layout plan.
It is an overview of a website that lists all the pages
available and provides active links to them.
Site maps help users navigate through a Web site that has
more than one page by showing the user a diagram of the
entire site's contents. Similar to a book's table of
contents, the site map makes it easier for a user to find
information on a site without having to navigate through the
site's many pages.
Here are some example site maps from popular web sites
A
site map is just a series of words that are hyperlinks to
the various pages on your web site. It is like an
index or contents page that users can click on to move
around your site.
A
site map is fairly easy to make if you have only a few
pages, but once your website becomes large, making a site
map can be difficult and very time consuming (which is why
we don't have a site map for our school website, I haven't
had time to make one yet)
