Is Slickplan Showing Its Age?
Slickplan has been around since the early days of web design. It pioneered the visual sitemap category. But software ages like milk, not wine. Users today often complain that Slickplan feels "heavy", slow to load, and disconnected from modern development workflows.
Modern web development has moved to Component-Based Architectures (React, Vue, Next.js). ViSitemap was built in this era, for this era. Our interactions are instantaneous. There is no page reload when you move a node. It feels fluid.
The Pricing Complexity
Slickplan splits its features into different modules. You pay for "Sitemap Builder", then extra for "Diagram Maker", then extra for "Content Planner". It can get expensive fast.
ViSitemap takes a unified approach. You get the Crawler, the Visual Editor, and the Technical SEO checks all in one platform. We don't nickel-and-dime you for essential features like exporting a PDF.
Technical SEO for the 2020s
Slickplan focuses heavily on "Content Gathering"—sending forms to clients to get text. While useful, it ignores the technical underbelly of SEO.
ViSitemap prioritizes the things that break rankings today:
- Flash/JS Crawling: Can Google see your client-side rendered content?
- Canonical Logic: Are you preventing duplicate content issues?
- Social Previews: How does this page look on LinkedIn?
For a Technical SEO agency, these features are worth their weight in gold.
