Sitemap Templates to Help You Plan Your Website

by

A sitemap is a tool that can be used to visualize the structure of a website. While it lists the web pages or the content of a website, it helps you identify the information your website should consist of, remove redundant or duplicate content and make sure it has easy navigation and is user-friendly. Basically a sitemap is a tool that can be used to plan a website, its design as well as its development.

Content Website Sitemap Template

Presented below is a basic sitemap for a content website. There are beautifully designed icons for cluster pages, future pages, locked pages etc. available in the app.

Desktop Sitemap Template

This sitemap template provides an overview of the content of Creately Desktop’s web page. As you can see, pages have been color coded for quick identification. You can easily change the colors of the icons and even add a different background. 

Sitemap Structure with Future Pages and Dynamic Pages

Shown below is a website page navigation sitemap template with upcoming future pages, dynamic pages as well as pages with external links. All these icons are available in the app, and you can add the next shape you want with a single click using the context toolbar. 

Marketing Website Sitemap Template

This is an organized conceptual sitemap example template for a marketing company. Like in the Creately Desktop sitemap, this one is also color coded, which makes it easier to identify the different pages and which makes the sitemap much more appealing. 

Products & Services Website Sitemap Template

Every website usually has a products and services web page to promote and offer information on the products or the services they offer to the visitors. The following sitemap is of such a web page. The rich media shape/icon of the Home Page indicates that the page includes elements such as streaming videos. 

Personal Page Sitemap

Here is a website structure of a personal page or a personal blog page. Unlike the other sitemap templates, this sitemap includes content boxes that are used to indicate information on each page. 

Sitemap Template with a Security Login

Shown below is a site map template of a website architecture with a security login. The security indicator represents secure login which requires those who haven’t logged in to login before they access their account page. 

Sitemap Template with External Links

This template shows a sitemap structure with external links. An external link is used to indicate a link to another external website. Here, one of the Solutions to Streamlining Video contains an external website.

Compiled above are sitemap templates that are readily available as Creately examples in our diagramming community. These are professionally designed and would give you an excellent starting point to begin a new sitemap of your own.
