He frames it as a key document in the design process. For those unfamiliar with the term, a sitemap is a diagram that captures where content will be found within a website. It is a tool to define taxonomy, navigational structure, and allowing for better visibility and planning.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67cdbc51 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"67cdbc51\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d86f04d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2d86f04d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1482\" height=\"988\" src=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/book-on-information-architecture-for-website.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8278\" alt=\"Book on information architecture for websites\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/book-on-information-architecture-for-website.webp 1482w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/book-on-information-architecture-for-website-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/book-on-information-architecture-for-website-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/book-on-information-architecture-for-website-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1482px) 100vw, 1482px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fbe724d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3fbe724d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f83e394 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f83e394\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A lot has changed in the design field since 1998, but fundamentally, the sitemap has remained unchanged. Rosenfeld laid out a method that can still be followed to the letter today. Despite this, it appears to have largely fallen out of fashion. One can only speculate on why this is, but likely it has to do with the maturation of digital products. Designers are likely to patch new solutions onto an existing information architecture rather than reimagining it from the ground up. This is unfortunate, because new tools and ways of working have only made the sitemap more relevant in today\u2019s working context. Here is a look at how we are thinking about sitemaps here at nventive.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43c5721 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"43c5721\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d917679 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d917679\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sitemap = Product Map?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bd20743 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7bd20743\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-297adf36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"297adf36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1482\" height=\"834\" src=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/navigation-structures-for-website-and-mobile-appstructure-de-navigation-web-et-mobile.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8280\" alt=\"Navigation structures for website and mobile application\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/navigation-structures-for-website-and-mobile-appstructure-de-navigation-web-et-mobile.webp 1482w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/navigation-structures-for-website-and-mobile-appstructure-de-navigation-web-et-mobile-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/navigation-structures-for-website-and-mobile-appstructure-de-navigation-web-et-mobile-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/navigation-structures-for-website-and-mobile-appstructure-de-navigation-web-et-mobile-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1482px) 100vw, 1482px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-358386c7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"358386c7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45fcdc2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"45fcdc2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To start, it is clear that in 2022, the term sitemap is a misnomer. Sure, we still work on websites, but we are just as likely to be designing mobile apps, web apps, or desktop software. Is a sitemap still useful for all these products? Definitely. In fact, as native apps move further away from the traditional tree shaped navigation structure, it is increasingly important to visually account for how pages and content relate to one another. At this early stage, we can prevent siloing and navigational awkwardness.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, we worked with a client to design both a web app and a native mobile app for the same product. During our research, it was established that the context of use, and therefore the features required, would be different between the two platforms. Designing two separate sitemaps allowed us to better understand how the product could maintain a sense of predictability and navigational consistency between the two platforms, while maintaining functional differences.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a53b76 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9a53b76\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84c2850 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"84c2850\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Static versus Dynamic<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-654c7bf5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"654c7bf5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c4e3b2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5c4e3b2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1482\" height=\"834\" src=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/visualisation-of-creation-of-a-dynamic-sitemap.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8276\" alt=\"Representing the creation of a dynamic sitemap\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/visualisation-of-creation-of-a-dynamic-sitemap.webp 1482w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/visualisation-of-creation-of-a-dynamic-sitemap-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/visualisation-of-creation-of-a-dynamic-sitemap-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/visualisation-of-creation-of-a-dynamic-sitemap-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1482px) 100vw, 1482px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42368ce8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"42368ce8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48d9516c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48d9516c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Before dealing with a more complete prototype, navigational awkwardness can be difficult to predict. Historically, sitemaps were static diagrams. They provided confidence in how one would get around a product, but they were not bulletproof. Today\u2019s tools like Miro and Figma allow us to link cards representing screens and content together in a dynamic fashion. Using clickable links to illustrate these connections gives a better approximation of the final navigation experience.<\/p>\n<p>At nventive, recent sitemaps have taken advantage of dynamic linking to map out products at a level of navigational depth that would have been too overwhelming to follow in a static diagram. Each level of depth can be viewed as its own diagram, navigable via links, so one can easily drill down or pull back up to a higher-level view, much like within a real product.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c32a69b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c32a69b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-944fcdf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"944fcdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Collaboration and Visibility<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a99c2df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a99c2df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our projects at nventive can have many stakeholders, both internally and within our partner companies.
