We have set up this site to be as user friendly as possible, and have installed some fantastic features. When browsing through the pages of a website, we all want a user friendly experience and efficient use of our time. In an aim to achieve just this, we have added the following features which allow you to select various options to enhance the view and interactivity of your experience.

 

Wondering if we have what you are looking for?
Looking for a particular article? Use the SEARCH tool.

Use our simple search tool in the main menu bar. Just type in whatever you are looking for and a list of pages will magically appear underneath. The website search engine displays the results based on key words attached to articles, and words in articles.
For a more advanced search, click on the mini magnifying glass on the right of the search tab which will take you to the search section of the site, where you can refine your search even further. Type in your search words, parameters or phrases and presto, the links to pages and articles within the site will be displayed. This is a great tool, and will speed up your access to information incredibly.


Use the Breadcrumbs to Navigate

site-breadcrumbs

A great trick to get moving through the site more quickly is to become familiar with the easy menu system. The "Breadcrumbs" Menu leaves a trail of crumbs as you navigate your way through a section. This can be found at the top of the website just under the main menu bar.
You can hover offer any of the previous crumbs, they will highlight and change colour to red to show that they are active and you can go straight to that page. Easy!
At any stage you can get right back to the start, the home page, by clicking on the little "home icon" at the start of the breadcrumb trail under the main menu of every page.
