In the past, my approach to this has been to just define an alias something 
along the lines of:

alias scd "cd ~/Sites"

At times, I've also taken the approach of instructing whatever Terminal app I'm 
using at the time to just start in whatever directory is occupying most of my 
time.

You may also be interested in $CDPATH. From 
fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#cd :

It is *possible* that setting $HOME will get you what you want, but I'd be 
pretty reluctant to do that because of how many different ways $HOME is 
used....you'll likely end up with all manner of nonsense dotfiles in your Sites 
folder.
