A sitemap serves as a “blueprint for your website, aiding search engines in discovering, crawling, and indexing all of your site’s content.”
Heuristic markup is a technique employed by UX professionals to evaluate their intuitive responses as they engage with a product experience from the perspective of their target audience.
Creating both the sitemap and heuristic markup allowed me to empathize with users and view the website from their standpoint. This approach made me more attentive, helping me identify aspects of the site that might otherwise go unnoticed. This experience will be invaluable in future website and app design, as I’ve learned how to enhance the clarity and discoverability of a website while considering what might be less obvious and harder to find.
