A well-designed IA improves usability by helping visitors quickly find relevant information. It also improves SEO because search engines can better understand the website structure and relationships between pages.
A website sitemap is a structured map that outlines all the pages and sections of a website. It shows how pages connect to each other and how users navigate through the site.
Sitemaps are essential during website planning because they help designers, developers, and stakeholders visualize the website structure before the design phase begins.
User journey planning focuses on understanding how visitors interact with a website and the steps they take from landing on the site to completing a goal.
