Yay! This tool keeps getting better.
Very, very useful for design agencies, digital marketing consultants and webmasters wanting to place a bit more strategy and planning behind their website projects.
Helps structure and plan visually both sections/pages and the type of content that will go inside them.
I am not affiliated with Octopus but I do highly recommend their tool.

LOVELY product (I imagine it must be a godsend for teams/agencies) and GORGEOUS website!
A not-so-major annoyance: when I signed up I had to enter my full name, country, company name and role. I understand why those could be needed in some accounts, but why not let people set that all up later instead of forcing them to enter details that might not even be relevant to them (e.g. "company name" -> what if I'm a hobbyist?)
Regarding the video, the demo shows off the product nicely and is totally convincing but my first though was "the person who does the voice over sounds SO bored..." and then I realized it's a probably a TTS.
@solomon_teach Agreed! Until yesterday I did sitemaps in either Dropbox Paper (great tool for notes by the way) or Workflowy-style software. This is so much more intuitive and really gives you a bird's eye view of the structure and whether or not it makes sense/is repetitive/etc!
Hello Producthunters,
it’s been almost a year since we launched our sitemap builder and we are very grateful for received product feedbacks from PH community. Many of you still are using our tool, that’s the highest award for us and motivation to move forward. We are working on new things, and recently released some update we would like to share with you:
- Wireframes. Now you can easily add simple wireframes to visualize the block contents.
- Refactored UI controls. As we were adding new functionality, the page controls and interface itself became crowded. We had to do something about it, hope you like it ;)
- Team dashboard. For better collaboration and all projects at hand with your team members.
- Vertical mode. Many of you work on HUGE projects that can’t stick to the horizontal view, and the zoom-out feature can’t help. That one is for you!
- Better PDF export, Comments, Real-time collaboration, Dark theme etc.
And finally, we got a new website https://octopus.do/sitemap — hope you will like it.
Cheers,
Karl
Great UX for planning SEO/SEM flows around websites and keeping track of changes in website structures of various sizes.
We have been using it since version 1. Excellent tool and so good to see it developing!
?makers would it be possible to import an existing site's sitemap.xml? it would be interesting for redesigning existing sites
@giulio_maselli @karlplaude1 - How far away are you from building out this feature? We currently use slickplan because it simply scans the site and builds the sitemap or allows us to import a sitemap via xml. Octopus sitemaps look 50x better so we're eager to switch....
@giulio_maselli @cam_fulton currently working on it. Can you send some examples of sitemap.xml for us to test? hello@octopus.do
@karlplaude1 if you want a relatively simple one you can take it from my website https://giuliomaselli.com/ The file is /sitemap_index.xml and it's generated by Yoast
