Best free way to create a sitemap? SlickPlan!!

SlickPlan LogoI just started using SlickPlan today (about 30 minutes ago).  And I already have created a slick looking 40 page sitemap which I feel could be used for clients or for organization between team members.

SlickPlan is FREE!  Just sign up, get the email, click the activation link and you’re ready.  Within minutes I was adding pages, sub-pages and all the navigation elements what would be constant.  After you are done you have several options to export.  

SlickPlan Site MapYou can “Get HTML” which a great place to grab the code to start your real site map, add a little CSS and boom.  You have yourself a nice sitemap.  You can Export to PDF.  This function is nice but I was hoping for a better PDF.  It still looks good but not great.  The lines connection the pages is quirky to me.  You can also Email an HTML link to anyone so they can view what you have created.

There are a few things I would love to see updated.

  1. I would like to see the ability to style  the page “buttons”.  Being able to change the colors, font, font size and size of “buttons”.
  2. Being able to create copies of pages
  3. Having the list of pages on the left not get so unmanageable in large site maps.
  4. Having the ability to zoom in or out
  5. Having the ability to collaborate.
  6. Having the ability to export to html and css (matching what is on screen)

Not bad for something that is FREE.  I suggest everyone at least try this and if you like it support it with some donation cash.

    Thanks for the feedback. We’re always looking for new ways to improve our favorite application and user feedback is a great way to get new ideas.

    Your ideas are all good ones. We’ve been discussing ideas 3, 4, 5 and 6 and we should be making those changes fairly soon.

    The best way to keep up to date with SlickPlan developments is probably to give us a follow at either @SlickPlan or @AtomicGroup.

    Communicating on Twitter is a great way for us to keep up to date on user concerns.

    Thanks,

    Zach
