How does this video only have a few hundred views?! -Production quality is super high and the explanations are great to follow and implement - I have the feeling that I found a youtube star/influencer in the making! This was mighty helpful for my latest project, THANK YOU!
These videos have no fluff or esoteric speech just practical science. Dropping science son! These videos are great. Really! That's youtube. The gems are diamonds in the rough. The ones that get a lot of likes are the ones that have motivational content and no real substance. Life is hard. Do it the hard way. And get it done. And shut up. And don't be an idiot! That's my motivational advice for the day.
I just started a UX bootcamp and was trying to find a more comprehensive explanation of how to create sitemaps. This was great information and a great intro to Miro!
Glad you found it helpful. Also good work on starting your UX bootcamp you should comment on other subjects that could potentially be beneficial and if I can I’ll make some content around them.
This is the only video you need to watch to get started on Sitemaps and Miro!! Excellent explanation and zero fluff! Best 30 mins I have spent on a youtube video recently without having to look for more videos. Pretty confident about doing my sitemap now after watching your video! Great content!! :)
Life saver video💃💃. This is the first time i am watching a 30mins long video on normal speed and even taking it back multiple times. This is absolutely beginner friendly, I love it! Thank you!
Fantastic video man! I was original looking for a quick 1-2 minute video on how to draw site maps and without realizing it, I sucked up the full 30 minutes like it was nothing. Great work :)
Might be a few weeks before I can get to more IA stuff, but be sure to check out both Tree Testing and Card Sorting as they're both related to IA, you can find them in my channel ;)
This was a really detailed video I really enjoyed it. I'm using Figjam at the moment but i was able to figure out the tool itself and the process you layed out is so straigh forward I like it
This is really informational! I will apply it to the project I currently working on, a really straightforward content and I didn't realize that it was 30 minutes. Looking forward to learning more from you!
Wow! this is perfect video with crisp and clear instruction woth stunning presentation to learn sitemaping. I love how he illustrated by doing a sitemap himself a lot I learned a lot from it❤❤❤❤
Came across your channel for the first time. You explained the process of creating a site Map very well. Wish there was an option to like the video multiple times :). Thank You.
Nice explanation! I usually use Overflow to make sitemaps and user flows. I do always struggle with how much details I should include in sitemap. This vid helped me understand that it depends on by whom it will be used later on
Check out Tree Testing -> ua-cam.com/video/IVlzrE30K5E/v-deo.html Or Card Sorting -> ua-cam.com/video/9ux5OMaO7Bk/v-deo.html If you haven’t already, Otherwise I’m working on intro to UX Research coming out next week and after that I’m planning on diving deeper into each topic, including Wireframing.
Hi Ari, Just followed!, i just integrated this in my workflow with a client, meeting in one hour! quick question: i would like to do a competitive audit for them as a next step, i went over your channel but i couldnt find anything related to that, do you have any resources you could recommend to check out? thanks a lot!
thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have a question, why do we call the home a "details page" , it was yellow in the beginning, then we made it green, why is that? thanks!
Nice informative video, may you please tell us and arrange the right order as per UX like Sitemap, card sorting and tree testing, which process comes first, thanks!
You should have also compared this site map with actual site and tell us how it will look , because now I am confused if these organization labels are section on pages or categories inside dropdown of shop now in navigation. Video is super useful but this thing put me in delima
Very clear and easy understanding of your content. I'm watching this for my exam , writing and making notes of whatever you are explaining. 😀 Your voice though 😻🤦 kind of distraction
Both 0.75 and 1.25x speed 🤦 you sound same.. I need short notes on Creating Content For Web ( Elements of the Web- hyperlink, hypertexts, etc) , The Web as a Medium
Hey Nisha, potentially in FigJam in the future since I’m slowly moving away from Miro to that, the tool might be different but the process will be the same. Glad you found this helpful
Category page would be: List of all of my items, where I can browser through them e.g. -- Mattress -- Bed Side Tables -- etc If I click on Mattress on the category page it would then take me to that specific Mattress page. In another example. When you search for Shoes on the Nike website, you get a list of all the shoes they have available and when you click on a specific shoe it would then take you to a unique page where it would provide further info about that shoe.
Welcome to the UI UX community:) Information Architecture in simple terms is the practice of organising information on our platform and feeding it to the end user in the format that makes the most sense. (The purpose of information changes depending on the situation) Sitemaps is one exercise to plan your information architecture in a macro level. There are other tools like user flows, page hierarchy and layouts and more that help to improve the information architecture for your projects.
This is amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to walk us through Miro and your process for making a sitemap. I have a question about the categories, all of the categories, such as "Shop", "About", those categories will not actually be navigation menu item labels but they are included within the sitemap to organize it better? Whereas, on the actual site, the actual navigation will include, "Beds &Mattress", "Seating", "Desk & Tables", "Organization" and, for "About us" category, the actual menu item or link will be labeled, "Our Story". Is this correct? Again, thank you so much for this video.
Hey Naz, thanks, it depends on the situation, in this particular case the category labels "Shop", "About" etc would appear on the navigation, however, they wouldn't have their own landing page, they would have a dropdown, but in your case, as a designer that's a decision you need to make. What makes sense in order for you to represent your categories?
@@AriPxl Hey, I've been doing some UX research work again and I've started in Miro but I'm tempted to switch over to Figjam, I feel like it has more plugins. I can't find much on Figjam vs Miro, I wonder what your opinion is on that, thanks in advance.
Thank you! Those days I'm learning UX course and we're working with Figma for the wireframes and Whimsical for the Sitemap + Userflow. I noticed you didn't talk about Whimsical, is there a reason for that? So far it feels very intuitive, rich and easy
Hey, no particular reason, Whimsical is a great tool I just used Miro cause I use it for a lot of preliminary design exercises and workshops and have a had great experience with it. One advice I can give is to think of apps as tools, they basically enable to have an outcome, in this case a sitemap, it doesn’t matter which app you use as long as it gets you to your destination, use the one that you’re most comfortable with and know best. I’ll make some videos on whimsical later on as well. Great that you’re learning UX I’m planning to publish more videos so stay tuned :)
Hey Flowcharts are used as user flows, they’re more micro and focus on a task and map out the steps and the decision a user might go through in order to complete that task. Sitemaps are information oriented, it helps you layout your information and pages in a way that flows well and makes sense for your users. Hope this helps, I’ll make a more thorough video on User Flows / Flowcharts.
I followed step by step and created a color-coded list in excel it all worked fine except my sticky note color did not transfer. All of my sticky notes are yellow. I have a free account in Miro. Does your tutorial only apply to paid accounts in Miro? or must I use google sheets instead of excel?
Yeah a few people have mentioned this to me. I’ll make a video explaining the difference. But in a nutshell one is micro and the other is macro. More details will be in the video
So much professionalism and point to point explanation. Learn lots of things. But Would you please speak a little bit slower! from the next videos? Thank you.
@@AriPxl I only realized it since I was taking down notes 😂 But yeah, that's okay! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to learn more from your videos!
The free version of Miro is horrible to use, a lot of the functions short cuts interrupt with that of Safari!!! I will NOT register this app given the appalling experience lol
Great question. Information Architecture in simple words means how you choose to provide information or reveal your design to the end user. So Sitemap is one way to help you solve that in a macro way but there are other exercises that can help you achieve good IA, for example another part of building information architecture are page layouts, how you choose to reveal what information in what format to your users, another might be userflows, again what information do you choose to show your user and how would you choose to structure it helps you approach your IA differently. Hopefully this answer helped.
@@Donkevito hey, unfortunately I had to take that one down as I was showcasing client work and client wasn’t comfortable with it, so I’m re-editing and re-uploading it very soon
It's really amazing! Thanks for sharing this whole video with great explanations! Really clear and very well explained. I only have one question if you have time. I'm confused about making a sitemap for a feature design, what should I include? Do I need to do the whole website sitemap to include one part? Thanks for everything 😀
There are no hard and fast rules. You can absolutely zoom into an area (micro level) or zoom out (macro), and creat a more focused and detailed map… I might make a video around this, it’s a great question!

Great Video! You did an amazing job at getting the fundamental information without a bunch of fluff. Thank you for making this Ari!
Love the production quality and content on this one. Good video.
Best video I found on sitemapping. Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to that content audit video you mentioned. 🙌🏻
Thank you! I started using Miro after watching this.
Man I love your style, definitely learned some great tricks I haven’t used at work yet! High quality content right here people.
No dislike!!
Because this kind of video doesn’t deserve any!!

There is no particular order, they're all tools to have under your belt to use when you need them.
@@AriPxl thanks....!
So professional! Subbed. Can you make a web design tutorial just like this one? Like a series?
Sure thing. I have a few in the pipeline :)
You should have also compared this site map with actual site and tell us how it will look , because now I am confused if these organization labels are section on pages or categories inside dropdown of shop now in navigation. Video is super useful but this thing put me in delima
Could you do a video doing a heuristic analysis?
Just added it to my to do videos ;)
Very clear and easy understanding of your content. I'm watching this for my exam , writing and making notes of whatever you are explaining. 😀 Your voice though 😻🤦 kind of distraction
I’m glad you found it helpful! Haha if it helps you can play it at 0.75x speed and I’ll sound drunk?
Both 0.75 and 1.25x speed 🤦 you sound same..
I need short notes on Creating Content For Web ( Elements of the Web- hyperlink, hypertexts, etc) , The Web as a Medium
Is it design after user flow and information Architecture and is it design in design phase in design thinking?
Is there a way we could have access to the figma files you presented in the video?
This is absolutely helpful. Is there any plans to showcase the same in Figma?
Hey Nisha, potentially in FigJam in the future since I’m slowly moving away from Miro to that, the tool might be different but the process will be the same. Glad you found this helpful
Great video! The thing I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is, what's the difference between detailed pages and category/list pages?
Category page would be:
List of all of my items, where I can browser through them e.g.
-- Mattress
-- Bed Side Tables
-- etc
If I click on Mattress on the category page it would then take me to that specific Mattress page.
In another example. When you search for Shoes on the Nike website, you get a list of all the shoes they have available and when you click on a specific shoe it would then take you to a unique page where it would provide further info about that shoe.
Tks for your informative video. I'm newbie in this field so can you tell me what is the different between IA and Sitemaps, Thanks
Welcome to the UI UX community:)
Information Architecture in simple terms is the practice of organising information on our platform and feeding it to the end user in the format that makes the most sense. (The purpose of information changes depending on the situation)
Sitemaps is one exercise to plan your information architecture in a macro level. There are other tools like user flows, page hierarchy and layouts and more that help to improve the information architecture for your projects.
For steps 1 and 2, if the client has no website, then how can you do step 2? Since if there's no website, then what content do you audit?
This is amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to walk us through Miro and your process for making a sitemap. I have a question about the categories, all of the categories, such as "Shop", "About", those categories will not actually be navigation menu item labels but they are included within the sitemap to organize it better?

Why do we start sketching and make flows before doing sitemap?
What is the difference between Inforamtion Architecture and Site map and tree model
Sitemap is a part of the information architecture, information architecture or IA is an umbrella term that covers a whole bunch of things
Thank you!
Those days I'm learning UX course and we're working with Figma for the wireframes and Whimsical for the Sitemap + Userflow.

Hi, what is the difference between flowchart and site map and when do i use them?
Hey Flowcharts are used as user flows, they’re more micro and focus on a task and map out the steps and the decision a user might go through in order to complete that task.
Sitemaps are information oriented, it helps you layout your information and pages in a way that flows well and makes sense for your users.

Hey Fabiola, Try using Google Sheets rather than excel, I don't believe it has anything to do with paid vs free Miro Accounts.
I am very confused about the difference between sitemaps and userflows. should we have both for a portfolio projects? lets say an app.
Yeah a few people have mentioned this to me. I’ll make a video explaining the difference. But in a nutshell one is micro and the other is macro. More details will be in the video

@@AriPxl I only realized it since I was taking down notes 😂 But yeah, that's okay! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to learn more from your videos!
Also too small to know the difference between 'too' and 'to'
