Adding a Site Index to Organize Your Website
I’ve recently added a site index for the resources section of my website, seeing as it has grown to over 150 pages. A site index, much like a table of contents, has made navigation much easier because now you can see an entire section of my website at a glance.
The difference between a site index and a sitemap is that a sitemap is usually organized by importance or navigation, where a site index is an alphabetical order list index. This site index provides content overview at a glance to help my visitors navigate around my website. This way I could help engage my website visitors and interest them to navigate through other pages of my website.
By adding a site index to your website you offer easier navigation, more stickiness, increased SEO, and a clear layout of what your website contains. In turn, this could lead to greater traffic and more customers to your business. Have a look at my My Webdesign Resources Site Index.

Sitemaps For Your Website
A sitemap is a webpage list overview to aid in website navigation for visitors and search engine bots, usually for larger websites. It can be a webpage that lists the pages on a website, organized by importance or navigation order, rather than an alphabetical order list index which is known as a “site index”.
Sitemaps improve SEO ensuring every webpage can be located, and provide content overview in a glance which helps visitors navigate around your website. They are particularly useful for stickiness because instead of a visitor arriving and “bouncing” from your website, a sitemap may help engage your visitor and interest them into other pages of your site.
Sitemaps for your website offer easier navigation, more stickiness, increased SEO, and a clear layout of what your website contains. Once a website reaches 50 to 100 pages, it is recommended to add a sitemap in order to give it effective navigation.
