• How
do I know what page I am on?
Firstly look at the very top of your browser window and
you'll find the name of the page currently open. For this
page you'll notice the entry 'ablestable.co.uk | FAQ Centre
| Navigational Questions' (this is sometimes followed by
a file path depending on your browser). Our naming conventions
allow you to trace back to our home page with ease. This
may not be the way you entered the current page, but it
will give you the most straight forward path to the homepage.
You'll be able to tell what area you're in by the large
visual header below the main navigational buttons. The header
on this page reads 'frequently asked questions'. Following
the header there is some contextual information. For this
page that reads 'Navigational questions answered'.
If you are on one of our main pages (our main pages are
accessible using the top or bottom navigational bars) you'll
notice the navigational bars have one button that displays
a light coloured 'on' state.
Lastly take a look at the status bar at the base of your
browser window. This will provide details about the current
page. It also displays the address of any other pages you
might wish to visit when you pass your mouse over a link
object.

• How
do I revisit pages I have been to?
You may return to a page you have previously opened
in several ways. If you wish to go back or forward one page,
your easiest method is to use the 'Go Back' or 'Go Forward'
links under the AbleStable® logo
on our pages on your browser. Note that Back and
Forward commands take you one step in either direction (one
hyperlink). This may be a previous page or
a section of a previous page. Most
browsers also have a back and forward button which in contrast
refer to page steps.
In many browsers you'll find a 'session history' in the
URL address line (eg for IE4 and above activating the down
arrow to the right of the URL line displays your session
history). Simply run down the drop-down list and the browser
will open at that page.
A note of caution: don't expect to access dynamic or secure
pages once you have left them. If you go to another site
and then decide to revisit a dynamic page at AbleStable
the original content you browsed will not be there as it
was 'session sensitive'. Secure pages may often be accessed
through a log-in protocol and will also be session sensitive.

How do I get to
where I want to go?
We aim to publish a site with as many navigational aids
as possible. You'll find standard text links, top and bottom
navigational bars and context sensitive links that appear
on the left side bar. Our site has been designed to enable
users to get to their main interest area within two clicks.
For those wishing to make a general sweep of our site use
our advance search facility.
There are two types of visitors to web sites, those who
are browsing without any particular purpose
in mind, and those with a specific goal. For those with
a specific aim in mind the key piece of advice we
can give is be very clear about what you want.
There are several ways you can search for creative professionals
at AbleStable:
• Use Search to return
broad results
• Use the horizontal multicoloured 'Creative Area'
buttons available on our Homepage
and many other pages on our site to 'drill down' through
Creative Areas and their associated Disciplines. This method
produces fast focussed results.
• Use our Directory
Index which provides a complete list of Creative Areas,
Disciplines, and Job Descriptions at AbleStable. This allows
you to gain a broad picture of the kinds of Creative Areas
and Disciplines available at AbleStable.

How can I bookmark
a page?
The most effective pages to bookmark
would be any one of the main pages you can access from the
top or bottom navigational bars (eg Home, Register, Log-in
etc).

Where
is your site map?
Site maps are often used to guide users around sites
that are otherwise difficult to navigate. Our aim is to
provide navigation that pre-empts the need for our Site
Map. We acknowledge however there are those who prefer
to use a text based link system.

• Why
am I refused access to certain pages?
Some areas at AbleStable have restricted
access. These are mainly areas that Users have paid a registration
fee to access. You may take our Quick
Tour to gain an overview of what our site provides,
or alternatively go to Clients,
Members or Partners
to view their prospective hub pages.
