How To Add A SiteMap Block In Your Website Footer

A Sitemap is a collection of links—typically to the pages that make up your website. It's a helpful tool for both visitors and search engines to navigate your site more easily. This guide walks you through how to add a Sitemap block to your PhotoBiz website footer.

How to Add and Customize a Sitemap in Your PhotoBiz Website Footer

Adding a Sitemap Block to your website footer helps visitors quickly navigate your website and assists search engines in understanding your site structure. Follow the steps below to create and customize your Sitemap in the PhotoBiz Website Builder.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE from the left-side menu.

STEP TWO

Scroll to the bottom of the BUILDER section and click FOOTER, located beneath your list of pages.

STEP THREE

You can only have one Sitemap Block in your footer.

If you don’t already have one, click the SITEMAP button in the right-side column to add a Sitemap Block to your footer.

If you already have a Sitemap Block, click anywhere inside it—or click the Pencil Icon in the upper-right corner and select ADVANCED to open the Sitemap settings.

Add Columns

You can organize your Sitemap using columns and items. Each link you add is considered an item, and arranging them in columns will display them side by side. You can also label each column with a header title.

Click the NEW COLUMN button.

Enter a name in the Label section.
Click CREATE COLUMN to add it.

Once created, your columns will appear in the Items section of your footer.

Edit Column Titles

To update a column title, click the Pencil Icon next to the column label.

Type your new Column Label, then click SAVE CHANGES.

Once you’ve created your columns, you’ll see them listed in the Items section of your footer.

Add New Column Items

To add items (links), click the Column Name, then click the NEW ITEM button.

Click CREATE ITEM to add your item to the Sitemap.

Edit Column Items

Hover over the Column Label title and click it to access the items inside that column.

Hover over the Label/Link To you want to edit and click to make changes.

You can update the Label and Link To fields using the same options listed above.
Click SAVE CHANGES when finished.

Rearrange Column Items

You can drag and drop column items up or down within a column. A teal line will appear where the item will move—release your mouse to drop it into its new position.
