http://www.shopping.hp.com/sitemap would not be able to keep up with all of the web pages being added, deleted, modified, etc. to create a sitemap. That is Hewlett-Packard. They have been around for what, 30-40 years? And they have been doing business in the billion dollar range right? abcd_123, can you imagine if you had that much money? I would have a team of software engineers, user interface designers, and graphic designers working for me around the clock.
In a company as large as HP, it is going to be hard to keep track of who is doing what and when, especially why. With all the different departments accessing their internal and external networks, keeping up with a sitemap seems kind of a long shot. What do you think?
Hello deccks,
Thanks for your comments,,
Well i was just giving examples to suggest nopCommerce team to add a sitemap page in the nopCommerce Project.
i am not saying to create something like HP or DELL or APPLE, i was just giving examples. And talking about sitemap page , just not e-commerce websites, today 50%-60% websites includes this sitemap page as it helps the visitors to see the structure of the website and help them to find pages easily. And i have created sitemap pages for many websites , it's not very time consuming work, sitemap page on any website is totally based on your web.sitemap tool of your website, whatever is there in web.sitemap will be populated on the sitemap page.
It totally depends on nopCommerce team how they want to display the sitemap page, if they want to include categories, manufacturer and few pages , that is also enough i think.
It's not compulsory to include each and every page , it's just that sitemap gives a idea of the website structure - what is located where...
Take a look at this website which is based on nopCommerce, someone has created sitemap page for his website:
