Mind Doodle Visual Sitemaps & Tasks Plugin

This plugin is a productivity tool that will help your team reduce development time by up to 30%! Improve your workflows with innovative task management and visual sitemaps.

Instead of drawing up a sitemap on paper or using an external tool, use Mind Doodle to create a visual, interactive sitemap that actually builds your site for you. Furthermore, when working with WordPress, enhance your team productivity with our built-in task management tool that facilitates the creation of your website.

Imagine you noticed a bug on the About us page, realized the homepage needs a review from a copywriter, or you want to flag up another page for a developer to look at. This plugin revolutionizes your workflows with task management directly within WordPress.

Add a task from whichever page needs an improvement, include details, assign it to the person responsible, prioritize it and set a time estimate. This plugin helps streamline the website development process.

SITEMAPS RE-IMAGINED

Re-imagining sitemap creation: You can create visual sitemaps much like how you create mind maps. However, it’s not just a visual tool. The plugin builds WordPress pages for your site as you add them to your sitemap.

• Visual WordPress sitemaps created instantly.
• Automatic creation of the website menu system.
• Consistently impress clients with clear, visual depiction of their sitemap.
• Interactive sitemaps for new or existing WordPress sites.
• Full control of page hierarchy using drag-and-drop to update parent/child pages.
• No longer worry about repeating or replicating work. This is not just a graphical tool, you’ll really build pages as you add them to your sitemap.

VISUAL SITEMAP NAVIGATION

Provide your visitors with a visual sitemap experience for easy navigation to all your web pages. Traditionally web sitemaps are long listings of hyperlinks to various web pages, making it challenging to understand the relationships between pages. The Mind Doodle visual sitemap provides a graphical view of all web pages, allowing users to intuitively browse your entire website and quickly view pages of interest.

• Embed a visual sitemap of your entire website (perfect for index pages).
• Simple setup and highly configurable.
• Responsive design support (desktop, tablet and mobile).
• Shortcode and Gutenburg editor support.
• Boost user web-page interaction by providing a visually impressive and exciting website navigation experience.
