About this Manual
Designed to introduce the reader to the UGA Department of Chemistry website, this manual
provides a brief overview; websites are meant to be explored and that detailed exploration is
left to the reader. This manual offers an introduction to the site architecture and content and
provides leading examples of the kind of information available from the site.
The website is both hierarchical and hyperlinked. In this manual, to provide easy access to any
level of the site, we will use the following shorthand:
http://www.chem.uga.edu | Departmental Operations | Faculty Teaching Assignments | Search
This indicates first the URL to reach the home page of the website (underlined), then delimited
by the vertical lines are links to be selected (by mouse click). Carrying out the above sequence
of links actually takes the browser to the specific URL:
http://www.chem.uga.edu/courses/cgi/search.cfm
and sometimes the actual URL will be used to reference pages in the site.

Navigation
The website is designed for easy navigation through the hierarchy. Main sections of the site
are defined on the nine bullets on the homepage (graphic above). Clicking on one of these
takes the browser to the main page of that section, all of which have a standard look with a fast
way home (photo in upper left corner) and easy one-click access to any of the other main
sections (button stack below photo on left margin). Most interior pages, no matter how deep in
the hierarchy, have this standard way of jumping back to the homepage or to the main page of
any major section.

which takes the browser back to the homepage, and the stack of mouseover buttons below it that take the
browser directly to the main page of those sections (the EV
