The most important element of any multi-paged web site is its navigation.

This template has several different ways to move around, some obvious, some not so obvious.

There are three sets of menus:

  • the top menu

  • the left departmental menu

  • the bottom menu

There are other navigation elements beside just those menus:

  • Each page title (e.g. "Navigation" at the top of this page) links back to the "next level up" or homepage for that section. Therefore, you can always back yourself out of a section quickly and easily by using the page titles.

  • There are some pages with vertical navigation elements. These are usually "long" or "tall" pages that have a separate menu at the very top of the main content page sometimes called a "page menu." Clicking on the "page menu" will hop you down the page to the area where that information is found, which usually has its own title. Clicking on the title for that area will bring you back up to the page menu for further browsing.

  • Within the left departmental menu, the department's name at the top of the menu in the serif font, is hyperlinked back to that department's homepage.

The combination of all these navigation elements will insure that no one will get lost and everyone will be able to quickly find their way around.
