Why a Site Map is Critical in Website Design

A site map is a document that contains the name of and a link to each page in a website. There is an obvious reason why this is a good thing. If you have a site visitor who cannot locate a certain page on your website they can look for the link on your site map and quickly scan the various pages and sections in your website. This is a useful service to offer your clients and our website design services all come with this automatically created and updated site map.

A Search Engine-Friendly Site Map

Even more important than this service as a backup to your website navigation is a particular type of site map which is provided for the exclusive use of search engines. This site map uses a document type known as XML and is built to allow a search engine to quickly and efficiently scan all the areas of a website that the site owner wishes it to view and (hopefully) index.

Part of Our Website Design Services

Every single one of the websites we build features this type of search engine-friendly site map. It is fully configurable within Mission Control where individual pages or modules can be excluded from the site map as required. As pages are added to one of our websites they are automatically included in both the general site map and the search engine site map.
