What is a Site Plan?

,

In the early stages of project planning for your website, a site plan is usually a good place to start. This is basically the foundation of your site. Once you have this in place you can build upon additional features or functionality that you would like to incorporate.

Below is a sample of a basic site plan. You’ll first begin with a site map which will list the pages you need on your site. Then you’ll follow with your site plan that will detail what elements should appear on each page.

IN CONCLUSION

As you may notice, the Site Map and the Site Plan provides the very basic beginnings of your website project. Taking the extra time to focus on this part of your planning allows you to begin visualizing your site and makes it a little easier to review your site in whole, before visual distractions.
