Help

This page explains the main features of our website and why we have done what we have.

The purpose of building a website is to get the information across and some would think that it is that simple. You don't just have to put the content into the website and that be the end of it the website must be built so that it is as easy as it can be for the user to use and to find the information that they need. To accomplish this task there are a number of things we have done and these are explained below.

Alt tags

We have used alt tags to describe the animations, pictures etc so that the special internet browsers such as the one's used by blind people can read the text and explain to the user what the picture is or what is happening in front of them. We have done our most on this issue and used it throughout every page on our website. Also some pictures have been described in more detail as they explain a lot such as the collage on the main menu.

Hotspots

These are designed so that you can go directly from a picture or an image of something to information about it. There are also small screen tips on these hot spots.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are designed to do the same job as hotspots but instead you click on the hyperlinked text on something and it will take you to more information about it or to relevant information.

Header and footer 

These are designed to be the same as they only have to load once and it allows the page to load quicker. Also on the header there is a previous and a home page button for the accessibility of the user.

Bold text

We chose Bold text primarily because it stands out and it is easier for the user to read and secondarily as it is better for presentation.

User Guide

The most obvious help to the user is guide to show them how to use all of the different things you have input aid them so I saw it imperative that one had to be produced.

Photos

To get the best possible photos every photo was taken at three different intervals in the day to get the best one. Doing this defeats disadvantages occurrences such as the sun and dark cloud which often ruin pictures.
