Octopus

The platform enables teams to map out the complete structure of a website visuallydefining page hierarchies, content blocks, navigation flows, and user journeysbefore a single line of code is written, making it a critical tool in the discovery and planning phases of web projects.

The platform's visual canvas allows users to build sitemaps by dragging and connecting page nodes, adding color-coded content blocks to highlight different types of content on each page, and attaching notes, estimates, and uploaded design mockups directly to individual nodes.

This rich annotation capability transforms a simple sitemap into a comprehensive project specification document that developers, designers, and clients can all read and understand.

Octopus.do includes a Figma sync integration, enabling design teams to connect their Figma workspace directly to their sitemap so that design files and site architecture stay in alignment as projects evolve.

An AI assistant is built into the platform to help generate initial sitemap structures from project briefs, draft page content outlines, and suggest information architecture improvements based on best practices.

The platform's SEO analysis features allow teams to evaluate their planned site architecture against search engine best practices before development beginsidentifying potential issues with crawl depth, URL structure, and internal linking hierarchy.

When the site is ready to launch, Octopus.do generates sitemap XML files from the visual sitemap that can be submitted directly to Google, Bing, and other search engines to accelerate indexing.
