A website is a bunch of web pages which are connected and joined with each other through HTML Tags.

There is also one more thing which is known as Sitemap. Well, site map is the list of web pages of a web site which are accessible to its users and audiences. It can be either is in the form of a text document file which can be used as a planning tool for web design or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, organized in a specific particular manner. This helps the users and search engines to locate the pages easily and work can be done more rapidly.

It’s a very old debate between the Site Index and Sitemap. Many developers think and feel that Site Index is more appropriable in usage in connection with page function. The way of presentation vary in both (Site Map and Site Index). As many individuals prefer Site Index over the Sitemap.

Whenever a user will tries to search some information that is present on your web site, the site map will increase the chances of your website to be located by the search engines. This is especially important if a site uses a dynamic access to content such as Adobe Flash or JavaScript menus that do not include HTML links.

At the time of search the search engines will locate only definite number of links form a particular website. And if the numbers of links are much, then the site map can really help you in it so that the search engines can scan your whole website.
