Week 5-Site Architecture-sv 

Each week builds on itself in order to help  you to design a web store layout.  This week you will continue to  research and thoughtfully develop your web store.  

Create a site map using the content that you organized in week 4.   Produce both a site map sketch then a finished site map, using the  graphical tool of your choice. Attach your work here.

• Organize content into nodes. (slide 2)
• Choose from one of the four structures to organize your nodes.  Why  did you choose this organizational style to present your content?  (slides 3-6)
• Answer the five critical questions about your content. (slide 7)
• Complete your site map sketch. (slides 8-10)

Note: Include a sketched out site map (use Word, Excel, PPT, etc. to  create the sitemap).   A couple of examples are provided in this week’s  resource links of the lecture. How to Draw a Site Map
