This is ensuring that the user who visits the website can find their way quickly and easily
around the website. For the BBC Theme Park website, the features that allow for easy
navigation are drop down menus and navigation images, graphics and text. There are four
main tabs and subtabs are located under each tab except for home. These tabs will appear in
a drop down form, once you hover over the main tabs. They carry the user to different pages
that relate to in depth information or additional information about the main page.
, As for the BBC Theme Park Website, the different pages and subpages are as follows.
The first main page is the Home page which is welcome page. The next main page is the rides
and attractions page listing the different rides and attractions available and has a drop down
menu for special editions, which are other games available at the theme park, which are not
the usual theme park rides and attractions. This is why, it was separated from the main page.
Tickets and prices is the next main page, which lists the different prices of tickets along with
age specifications, in the same order of how they were listed on the rides and attractions and
special editions page. The subpage for tickets and prices include packages and VIP Access
which contains the prices list for these and more information, which is additional information
on how the tickets and prices work.
The last main page is the about page, which holds a description about BBC and the aim
of the theme park. The subpages are times, dates and locations of the event and ways in

easier to get to another page on the website or web address instead of always using the drop
down menus. The first set of navigation text is located on the home page. The learn more tab

it. Therefore, you end up on either the rides and attractions page or the tickets and prices page
depending on which one you click.
