: Is there an automatic tool that can crawl a live site and generate both a visual sitemap and single-page screenshots? Is there an automatic tool that can crawl a live site and generate both

If you're not afraid of coding you can do this with Python:

import gtk.gdk

w = gtk.gdk.get_default_root_window()
sz = w.get_size()
print "The size of the window is %d x %d" % sz
pb = gtk.gdk.Pixbuf(gtk.gdk.COLORSPACE_RGB,False,8,sz[0],sz[1])
pb = pb.get_from_drawable(w,w.get_colormap(),0,0,0,0,sz[0],sz[1])
if (pb != None):
pb.save("screenshot.png","png")
print "Screenshot saved to screenshot.png."
else:
print "Unable to get the screenshot."

If you're on a Mac you could do this with AppleScript:

tell application "Safari"
activate
set winID to id of window 1
end tell

do shell script "screencapture -c -x -l " & winID


Reference: Applescript - Take Screenshot of ENTIRE Web Page - Safari

If Python isn't your flavor then you could do this with wget and there's a good gist write up: "Use wget to mirror a single page and its visible dependencies (images, styles)"

As far as an application I'm not aware I just do mine in the terminal but if I happen to be browsing and I like a site that gives me ideas on another way I could build something I use Awesome Screenshot for Chrome.
