What is a website sitemap?

A Sitemap is an HTML page that lists links (URLs) to all the different pages in a website, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. A Sitemap page will help your visitors to better navigate within your own website. Sitemaps are beneficial in cases when it is difficult for users to access all areas of a website through the browse-able interface.

A Sitemap Page is especially important if a website uses Macromedia Flash or Java Script menus that do not include html links.
