Free Sitemap Templates (Word, Excel)
Diagrams
by leannemartin
Mapping out a website before you build it saves hours of backtracking, and a sitemap gives the whole structure a clear shape. This small set of 12 templates lays out pages, sections, and how they link together, so web designers, content teams, and small-business owners can plan navigation and spot gaps early. It's the kind of overview that keeps a redesign from turning into guesswork.
The templates come in Word for quick outlining and Excel when you'd rather organize pages in rows and columns. Rearrange the boxes, rename the pages, and the plan takes shape fast. Pick the format that fits how you think and sketch out your site before the first page goes live.

What is a sitemap and why create one before building a website?
A sitemap is a visual outline of a website pages and how they link together. Creating one before building clarifies the structure, shows how visitors will navigate, and helps spot gaps or redundant pages early, saving hours of rework once design and development begin.
What should a website sitemap include?
A sitemap lists the main pages, their subpages, and the links or hierarchy between them, often starting from the homepage. It groups related content into sections and shows navigation paths. Some also note page purposes or priorities, helping content teams plan what each page needs to contain.
What is the difference between a visual sitemap and an XML sitemap?
A visual sitemap is a planning diagram that shows page structure for designers and content teams. An XML sitemap is a file submitted to search engines listing URLs so they can crawl the site. One guides the build, the other helps search engines index the finished pages.
