The New Look FashionCapital – A Guide

26-12-2009   


FashionCapital is a vast portal and the decision was made that we need to make using the site and navigating around it easier for new users and old.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide to using the new site….

 

Homepage

  New FashionCapital Homepage


  1. Login, sign up, membership, newsletter
    These are just like the old links with a special new addition – Newsletter.
    You can click these at any point during your session to sign in, sign up etc.
  2. Search  Box
    This search box will search the whole of www.FashionCapital.co.uk . this includes the members only sections so make sure you sign in before you search!
  3. The Slideshow
    the slideshow is a rotating set of images and words. These will help new users understand www.FashionCapital.co.uk. You can scroll these using the arrows in the bottom right hand corner of the image. From here you can decide what you need from www.FashionCapital.co.uk .
  4. Drop down Menus
    This menu is a list of links that are included in a section. You can click on these to be redirected to the correct area. This is another way to help new users.
  5. PR Squares
    These are featured items on the site, usually major projects of competitions. These are also good advertising for any company that wants to advertise with www.FashionCapital.co.uk . By clicking these you will be taken to the featured page.
  6. Mini Site Map
    The mini site map is another tool to make navigation easier; from here you can see what the link options are and how to get around the site. You can click a link here at any point during your session and be redirected to it. This is far easier than going back to the homepage and starting again.
