A user can even arrive at the start page in different ways, let alone pages located at lower levels of the hierarchy of your website. If you do not foresee these connections from the beginning, optimizing the website's structure and, in particular, the number of its pages in your future work will be difficult. Therefore, already at the stage of constructing a visual sitemap, indicate the connections between the proposed website pages using connectors (arrows). Additionally, you can mark them with different colors and arrows to identify individual user flows
We don't know about you, but in our professional wholesale business, we often encounter designers frequently accompanying their graphic designs with tons of text notes. This introduced additional complexity into the perception of the project and sometimes shifted the focus in the wrong direction. So why not simplify all those extra thoughts that can't be conveyed through the core components of visual sitemaps using emojis? This way, you will not only map volumes of text with additional insights for your team but also be able to correctly place emphasis between them
In principle, the same problem applies to visual attachments - designers, in the rush of their creativity, sometimes attach dozens of pictures that can be confusing. To eliminate the need for additional communication and convey the necessary thoughts in the visual sitemap itself, it makes sense to use covers for page cards that will most accurately describe the essence of the intended content for each type of page
You can go further if you think visually indicating the type of content using covers is not enough to supplement them with a couple of lines of text. Typically, designers indicate what is inside the cards, how detailed the structure has already been worked out for pages of a particular type (and whether it is already possible to involve other specialists in the work), and some individual notes. Ultimately, all this helps optimize work processes within the team and makes a positive impression on stakeholders
