Scenario
You are a UX designer for a large car rental corporation.
Usability tests and analytics have indicated that users are having a hard time navigating around the website. You are tasked with taking a fresh look at the navigation plan and general structure of the website.
Task
Gather content and pages from a real car rental company's website to get ideas for what is on a site like this. Examples include budget.com, thrifty.com, enterprise.com, avis.com, and hertz.com.
Build a sitemap for your fictional employer's website. You may want to use other skills like card sorting or tree testing to complete this challenge.
Extra Credit: Turn the sitemap into a more detailed IA diagram or plan. You can include things like:
Plans for search
Common user flows between pages in the sitemap
Content categories
A wireframe of what the site's main navigation looks like
