Why Have a Site Map?
This is what's called a "User-friendly site map." It lists all the key content of your website in plain English.
Some people prefer to navigate using site maps like this. Visually impaired people like them because they use screen reading software and all the pages are listed in a logical sequence.

the URLs from your web browser into hyperlinks on the relevant lines in your site map;
