After going through the steps in Indesign, thinking I had figured everything out, I came up with this (below). I felt it made sense, but when asking my sister to complete simple tasks by following the links, she told me the map did not make sense to her. She pointed out that it may seem easier if the "buttons" were all in one line, and if I added a few other links, or connections to the map.
After looking a little more into site maps, I realized that I did not need to have all the button options (I guess it would have been much smarter to complete my research before starting, lesson learned). But personally, having the buttons made sense to me, and for my own purposes, seemed logical to keep them. Therefore, for my second map, I created an option with just the page titles and purposes.
It seems as if these have pasted the test as my sister is able to follow them both without much explanation. I cannot imagine having to do this for a large website, but honestly, it has been fun and a great learning experience.
