What sitemap do you really need? sitemap for SEO (for google sitemaps) or sitemap page (i.e a page containing links to other pages in your site)? Whatever, I dont really think you need a sitemap as ur site is a one page design (I think). However, if you mean sitemap for SEO, then check out www.xml-sitemaps.com/. If you mean the link page, simply create a page with all intra links withing ur site arranged there, better still check a couple of sites, and see how they did theirs.

You can see the standard protocol for creating sitemaps here: http://sitemaps.org/protocol.php.

However, I will give you a brief sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">	
	<url>
	<loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/</loc>
   <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    </url>
	<url>
	<loc>http://yourdomain.com/index.html</loc>
   <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
	</url>
	<url>
	<loc>http://yourdomain.com/aboutus.html</loc>
   <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
   </url>
   <url>
	<loc>http://yourdomain.com/contactus.html/</loc>
   <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
   </url>
   <url>
	<loc>http://yourdomain.com/products/index.html</loc>
   <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
   </url>
   </urlset>

I used www.yourdomain.com as an example, but you need to replace that with your actual domain name. And of course, you have to change URL examples with yours.

All major search engines, Google, Yahoo, Live Search, etc, adhere to this standard set forth by sitemaps.org in creating sitemaps using XML format. Make sure to save your sitemap as sitemap.xml.
Start creating your sitemap with this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

. This is the standard procedure and it is followed by:

<url>
	<loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/</loc>
   <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    </url>

Every URL on your site has to start with <loc> and end with </loc>.
<changefreq>daily</changefreq> or <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> is optional. It is only there to notify search engine crawlers the frequency with which you modify the bearing URLs. <changefreq>daily</changefreq> shows you modify your URL everyday. <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> means you modify the bearing URL every week.

After you have included all your URLs in your sitemap, close it with </urlset>. I can't go into so much details here because of space, but if you follow my example, your sitemap should work.

Most importantly, make sure to upload the sitemap in its proper location. It has to be accessible at:

http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

. This is to make it possible for search bots (crawlers) to be able to retrieve it.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance with this issue, please, don't hesitate to post it here. And I will be willing to help, if I know the answer.
