Anyone know of a good automated tool for creating and updating Web site architecture diagrams? I know there are plenty of crawler tools that will generate a site map for an existing site, but I've haven't found anything that makes it easier to generate a site map for a site under development. What I'd love is a mapping tool that would be indexed and keyed to page ID numbers, use cases, and process flows, so that if any of those elements are updated, the map would reflect the correct ID numbers and logic. The old manual method of dragging little boxes into Visio and re-typing everything whenever a page changes seems so wasteful and primitive?

Any bright ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Have you looked at Azure?

Do you mean Axure RP Pro? Sure, I use it, but I'm not aware of any way to make it generate a site map.

Oh, I'm excited to find out what you guys know about this automated mapping!
I use Mindmanager Pro 7 to manually map architectures. It is much more flexible than Visio and we are having a lot of success with it in my company.

When I got back into IA, I was shocked that I couldn't find anything like this. Maybe we should create it! You should just be able to type in global nav, footer, utils, then secondary and tertiary content levels and it should just generate it!

There are two good tools available now, you can try using NovaMind and MindGenius, they are really good and easy to use tools.

I have been using Intuitech at work. It is an add-on for Visio, but it has pretty good functionality in terms of automating the process of site-mapping and wireframing.
