About the site
Sitemap Studio is one of our own products: type in a web address and it crawls the site, shows every page it finds in a live feed, and hands back a sitemap ready to upload to Google Search Console. The free scan has no page limit; a £29 lifetime option unlocks the full report and downloads.
The idea
Sitemaps are one of those jobs every site owner is told to do and very few understand. The aim was a tool that does the whole thing in one screen, explains itself in plain English, and is honest about what a crawler can and can’t see — then points people who want more help towards the studio.

Scope and limits

Look and feel
A dark teal-black interface with uppercase eyebrow labels and short, imperative copy. It is designed to feel like a piece of kit rather than a marketing page: the scan box is the first thing you see and the only thing you need to touch.
Under the bonnet
- Hand-coded front end — no framework
- Server-side crawler written in PHP
- Streams results to the page as it works
- Generates standards-compliant XML sitemaps
- Open Graph sharing image and full meta tags
Like everything I build, it’s made from scratch. No page builder, no theme. So it’s quick, it works on phones first, and it’s easy to change later.
