1. Main navigation
Example of main navigation
The main navigation is colour coded so that each channel has its own colour. There are two ways of using the buttons. The first is to simply click on the button to navigate the channel in the traditional way. The other is to use the slide menus. The arrows pointing to the right indicate that there is additional content that can be accessed. When any channel is accessed the arrow on the button will vanish temporarily until you leave that channel.

2. Slide menus
Example of slide menus
The slide menus appear when you hover the mouse pointer over any button in the main navigation. To use the slide menu move the pointer first horizontally to the right and then down. Click to access the information that you require.

3. Sub-channel navigation
Example of secondary navigation
The sub-channel navigation appears on the right of each page whenever you access any of the main navigation channels. You will note that the colours of these buttons will match the main navigation button colour that you accessed. When you click on any of these buttons the button that you click will turn blue and the arrow will now point to the left (instead of right) to show that you are looking at this sub-channel.

The crumb trail is useful for understanding the structure of content. As you delve deeper into each channel; an additional layer is added to the crumb trail.. The crumb trail is also a series of links which you can use to back-track. The crumb trail will not change relative to your browsing activity. Each page within the website has a fixed path and therefore a fixed crumb trail.
