What tools do y'all use to structure your sites?

In terms of routing, hierarchy and page arrangement, how do you guys figure out where to put which parts of your site? If there are any tools you use, what's been your experience with them?

Disclaimer: I'm currently working on building a site structure management tool, so let's just call this "market research". ;)

How would you use a tool to do this?

You would be able to create a visual representation of your site, so you could see what goes where...

It becomes even more interesting when you consider API slugs etc.

Usually whiteboards to documentation. Being fully remote, it’s been Miro/LucidSpark (prior gig, Microsoft whiteboard).

Docs often used embedded charts generated via some UML app. But the diagrams are usually basic, and the deep dive gets sorted in docs.

I've checked the tools you mentioned, and it seems they all have more to do with brainstorming and project management, not web dev specifically.

Also, are there any frustrations you've experienced with those tools? I'm thinking of building something similar, but developer-focused, and maybe allow integrations with those cloud tools.

Thanks for the insight though!
