Site Architecture

Descriptio

An information architect skill for marketing sites. It plans page hierarchy, navigation, URL patterns, and internal linking so the structure is intuitive for visitors and friendly to search engines. Output ships as five artefacts: an ASCII tree of the page hierarchy, a Mermaid visual sitemap with navigation zones, a URL map table, a navigation spec, and an internal linking plan with hub-and-spoke clusters. Use it whenever someone says "sitemap," "site structure," "information architecture," "IA," "navigation design," "URL structure," "breadcrumbs," "internal linking strategy," "what pages do I need," or "how should I organize my site." It covers the three-click rule, flat vs deep hierarchy tradeoffs, header/footer/sidebar/breadcrumb navigation patterns, URL design principles (hyphens not underscores, lowercase, hierarchy-mirroring), and per-site-type templates for SaaS, content, e-commerce, docs, hybrid, and small business.
