Site maps

Once the design brief has been finalised the first stage of building a website is the design of the Site map. This is the structure of the site and the blueprint from which the site will be built.

It is at this stage with Netro42's consultancy that we guide clients in how best to impart the information they have available and how to prioritise that information.
This is then reflected in the Site Map design which shows the varying levels of the site (see example below)

For example the home page is generally the first page visited by a customer and as such should contain links to the most important areas of the site (for example product or service information) It is pointless having the most relevant information buried too deep within the site as the user may well have left before reaching it.
Prioritising this information is vitally important, but there are always more than one way to access information. For example this very site utilises various ways of navigating such as the drop down menu, the navigation list to the left, the logo itself plus links within the text.
