How to Use the Site Map Templates in Creately
- Choose a template that suits your needs
Pick a site map template by site size—small brochure site or a large multi-section structure. Click “Edit This Template” to open it.
- Sign in or create a free Creately account
Create a free account or sign in. This lets you save your site map, return to it later, and keep every change synced to your workspace.
- Open the template and customize it
Lay out pages in a hierarchy from the homepage down, grouping sections and showing how visitors navigate between them.
- Add the homepage as the top node
- Branch into main sections and sub-pages
- Label pages and note templates or content types
- Show primary navigation vs. utility pages
- Flag new, existing or to-be-removed pages
- Restructure navigation quickly
Drag a page branch to a new parent and Creately re-aligns the tree, so you can test different information architectures in minutes.
- Collaborate with your team
Share for feedback. Give others view or edit access to your site map, gather comments inline, and resolve them without leaving the canvas.
- Save, export, or present
Finish and share. Save to your workspace, export the site map as PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF, or present it live — then embed or link it wherever your team works.
