Questions:
What’s one of the first steps when
creating an advanced site map?
What’s the difference between a site
map and task flows?
When creating site maps that are more advanced
or for larger websites and applications, first thing to do is use your first
page to identify the steps you have to go through to reach the sites home page.
Task flow is important in an advanced site map. Also I identify all your top
level pages and navigation elements with the site. This ultimately will allow
you to be able to show a nice view overview of the site up front and gives it a
clearer understanding to everybody.
Site maps help to identify the structure of applications and websites.
These can help show connections that help your audience understand of where
they might locate content. Site maps use a lot of the same traits and elements
as a site map, but the difference is that task flows are diagrams that identify
a path that the user will take when they go through the website or the
application. Also you might not use task
flow on every project like you would a user flow.

users to navigate to. After exhausting all crucial categories, presents a page
that lists all items that match the user’s selection to that point. It is
important to do this and to structure
content because without structure the user will be lost and confused. It is the
single most important thing besides the content.
