HTML Sitemap Generator
Create a sitemap page that helps visitors find every important page. Write an outline – Label | URL, with sub-pages indented by two spaces – or paste a plain list of URLs, which are grouped by folder automatically with readable labels. Choose columns per section or a single nested list. The result is a semantic list of links with headings for each section, ready for your footer’s “Sitemap” link.

HTML Sitemap Generator FAQ
HTML sitemap or XML sitemap?
An HTML sitemap is for people; an XML sitemap is for search engines. Most sites benefit from both.
Does an HTML sitemap help SEO?
It gives every listed page an internal link, which helps discovery, but it does not replace good navigation.
How many links are too many?
Hundreds of links on one page become hard to use. Split large sites into section sitemaps.
One more way to find content
WCAG success criterion 2.4.5 (Multiple Ways) asks for more than one way to locate a page; a sitemap page is the classic solution.
How it works: you fill in plain text fields and lists, and the generator writes clean, indented HTML and CSS in your browser. Everything you type is escaped before it is placed in the markup, links are checked so that javascript: and data: URLs cannot slip in, and the preview runs in a sandboxed frame without scripts. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
The code has no framework or build step: copy the HTML into a page, template or page-builder HTML block, and the CSS into your stylesheet. Class names use a prefix you choose (BEM style), so they do not clash with your theme, and colours come from your accent colour with automatic contrast checks.
Accessibility is built in: semantic landmarks and headings, real labels on form fields, visible focus outlines, enough colour contrast and layouts that reflow on small screens without horizontal scrolling. The notes under the output explain the decisions and what you still need to do on your side.
Use the presets to start from a typical example, then adapt the text. Related generators on this site cover the other parts of a website – navigation, footer, buttons, cards, forms, FAQ and call-to-action sections – so you can assemble a complete page from consistent pieces.
