Let’s start the presentation by reviewing the Home Page.

3. The Home Page
The home page is broken up into several sections. There are hyperlinks located in the header and the footer. The body of the page contains an interactive slideshow, news & events and other icons that will lead you to an Interactive Tour, Financial Aid...etc. Let’s look at the header.

4. The Header
At first glance you may notice that the “HOME” hyperlink no longer exists. This has been replaced with the “Trenholm State” logo located in the upper left-hand corner. Click the logo whenever you wish to return to the home page. There are three (3) rows of hyperlinks located in the header. Some of the hyperlinks reveal a dropdown menu, which allows you to navigate to other pages within the Trenholm State website (see image on the right). Other hyperlinks allow you to navigate to external sites like Moodle.
Hyperlinks, first row: (Academics, Current Students, Future Students, College Info)
Hyperlinks, second row: (My Trenholm, Moodle, Request Information, Apply Now)
Hyperlinks, third row: (Administration, Alumni & Giving, Continuing Education, Catalog, Directory and a search box)

If you click in the blue area next to “Learn More About Our Programs” you will be redirected to a webpage, which contains more information about the subject on that particular slide.
