One site, not 3. Rather than having
what were in effect three separate sites, for non-member,
contractor-member and associate-member, we now have one
integrated site with much improved access to relevant
information.
The navigation and structure of the
site have been completely revamped, to facilitate quick
and intuitive access to the areas that users want to see.
Hopefully the improved Navigation/Structure
and more interesting content on the initial pages will
persuade members to enter the site through the front door,
rather than coming in through the tradesman's entrance
(Bookmark straight to the forum!). Up-to-date news and
latest additions to the site will be posted on the initial
entrance page, and users who skip into the site may miss
something of interest.
The main site navigation is still located
on the left side of the page, but now employs a JavaScript
dynamic pop-up menu for quick access to all areas of the
site. The menu will work in a more conventional, if less
efficient way if you do not have JavaScript available
or have chosen to disable it.
Please
be aware that you can stop halfway through the navigation
menu and select to get the page relating to that specific
area, you don't have to go all the way through before
jumping to a link. For example, clicking in "Resources",
"PCG General" will take you to the main resource
index.
Each
page has a "context hierarchy" displaying your
current position within the site hierarchy. All items
except the last (which is the page you are on) are links
enabling you to jump back up to different levels within
the site.
To get current members up to speed ASAP,
the following list illustrates the main changes from the
previous incarnation of this site.
The information that was previously
filed as "File-Store" can now be found either under
the "Resources" menu, or alternatively under the
"Campaigns" menu, for campaign specific resources.
