[Sigia-l] Site maps for web apps, vs for content sites?

[Anne Hjortshoj]

The easiest way to apply a site map to an interaction flow is to turn the
site map on its side and show all page hierarchies -and- workflows from
left to right.  This way, you don't have to worry about the distinction
between hierarchical page relationships vs. workflow page relationships,
and you don't have the design challenge of throwing a workflow into
something that looks like an org chart.
