Organizing Your Sitemap
It’s time to get working on building your website! In this section, you learn how to organize a sitemap, or the menu for your website.
A sitemap is an outline of all the pages on your website. This is sort of like the outlines you wrote in school, before you wrote your paper. If you wrote an outline before you started writing your paper, you probably found it much easier to organize your content and to ensure that you were including all the correct information. The same is true for a website. You want a place for all your information, and a sitemap helps you determine place.
