Users will not get lost because there are navigation bars at the side and bottom of each page. These navigation bars also minimize, if not eliminate, the frequent use of “the back” button to get back to the original site. This website also has a search facility which gives the users a choice, whether to use the navigation bar or the search engine to find their way around in the website. 

There is content on every page. Readers do not need to click on a link just to find out what is beneath it because its titles or headings are self-explanatory. Therefore, readers can go to where they want quickly just by reading the headings. They need not spend hours ploughing through a forest of buttons just to locate the information that they need.

The use of “hard” (big and bold) and “soft” (small and normal) typefaces on the website facilitate the search for information because users can take one glance at the page and pick out things they want easily and quickly. There are not many texts to read on the website. There is a balance between the amount of text and graphics. Some pages have words that scroll themselves, which adds convenience to users.
