A sitemap is a list of pages of a web site accessible to users. It can either be a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a website. This is normally organized in hierarchical fashion. There are two popular versions of a site map. An XML sitemap is structured format that the user doesn't need to see, but it tells the search engine about the pages in your site, their relative importance to each other, and how often they are updated. HTML sitemaps are designed for the user to help them find content on the page and don't need to include each and every subpage. This helps visitors and search engines find pages on the site.
A wireframe is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website. Wireframes are created by the user experience professionals called interaction designers. They create wireframes for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. The wireframe is the page layout and arrangement of the website content, including interface elements and navigational systems and how they work together. The wireframe usually lacks typographic style, colour, or graphics. The reason behind this because the main focus is the functionality, behavior and priority of content.
Wireframes focus on:
- The kinds information displayed
- The range of functions available
- The relative priorities of the information and functions
- The rules for displaying certain kinds of information
- The effect of different scenarios on the display
