Site Maps & Story Boards

[Graeme]

Hello All,

Not too sure if I am in the right area here but,

Can anyone explain what are storyboards & sitemaps in a web design process, I have read up a little and are they the same thing or two very separate ones whereby you would need both for a web site design.  Also, is wire framing used to design the story board? 

 

Many thanks as always,

 

Graeme

A sitemap is used by Google to map out your websites. It is a basically a text document with links to the pages in your site. If your website is Wordpress based (or any other CMS,) it will generate the sitemap automatically for you.

 

A Storyboard is an image that represents your website while you are in the design process. Web developers borrowed the idea from filmmakers who will actually draw out scenes in a movie on a big piece of white cardboard. 

 

... Well these days, I am sure it is all done on computer. But you get the idea.
