What is web-site prototype

We are now moving to another Wizard with the help of which we can create the web-site map. Creating more or less spacious web-site and working with the already existing one, it's crucial for a web-master to get to know the details of web-site structure, location of catalogues, and convenience of navigation. For this, a web-site prototype is created. In addition to work with the web-site, on the basis of this prototype the web-site map can also be created, which is located on the site and is used by both search servers and site visitors for convenient site search.

Select in Template Gallery category Web and start Web Site Map wizard. The wizard will open dialog Site Mapper.

Generating the site map

To open already existing web-site enter URL link. If needed, you can also set some parameters for prototype creating, such as nesting level of hyperlinks: link nesting level, ability of going beyond the specified host and creating the log file.

The same dialog can be called from menu Tools.

Menu Tools

In case you want to create a prototype for a new site, press Cancel.

Editing the document. Libraries

Creation of a prototype in ConceptDraw is a nice'n'easy process. You'll just need to pick up necessary elements from the library and show hyperlinks between them with the help of connector from the library.

The Wizard will open two libraries: Web Site Map Shapes and Callouts. The first library contains images of various site elements (web-page, homepage, script page, different protocol types and so on) and connector for displaying hyperlinks.

Web Site Map Shapes

Each element is of two color types: green and grey. In grey, elements are displayed to which there are links on the web-site shown before.

disabled elements enabled elements

Read about the second library in Supportive Libraries section.

Creating framework for the web-site on your computer

Site Structure

You can work with the site both directly on the server and on your computer. In the first case we indicate the address either at once (on starting the program) in dialog Site Mapper, or later by calling it from menu Tools (Web / Generate Site Map). To create a framework on the given prototype on your computer, we use Tools / Web / Build Web Site Template. The program will open dialog Site Builder, where we specify the place for the site on our computer. Besides, default page name and extension are specified in this dialog.

SiteBuilder

To see the result, we open the default page on the hard drive. It contains hyperlinks to the second-level pages. Those pages in their turn contain hyperlinks to other pages and so on.
