Site Map Features

 Key features on a sitemap: 
  1. Home page is always at the top (the first page). The links to the other pages are underneath the home page. The links are the lines- these are the hyperlinks and how the website is navigated 
  2. The labels represent the pages on the website (these are different places you can access on the website.)  The black writing with dashes are the subpages.  
  3. The site map will be made by the website programmer or coder in preproduction. When drawing this there should be no gaps to represent the fact that all links all stick together.  
  4. Graphic designer designs what each part will look like and the coder codes the website so that each thing visualised works. For example the hyperlinks.
Key words: 
Hierarchical structure- means that the most important in at the top. E.g. the home page. This is where you can navigate from and go back to within the website. Also links to the order of the tabs. 
Pages- these are the places within the website. The ‘gallery page here would be the notifications on Facebook. 
Links- the things that link the pages together. 
Breadcrumb tail- giving the end user get around the website easier
Subpage-more info off of the main pages
