I’ve been working on a site map for the last few days (not the type that describes an existing site - the type that describes the likely structure of a new site).

I naively had thought that once I knew the content well, and ran a card sorting session, the site map would magically fall out of this process (I have done the process on a smallish site and it did).

Boy was I wrong. I have good information from a card sort, but not the type of information that will easily give me a site map. So how am I doing it? With a great big dose of gut feeling (and I will be usability testing the site map once I have finished)…
