Linking the two!
w

n
We’ve come up with an easier way for our readers to tap into our online
repository on www.securitysa.com and www.hsbd.co.za. Thanks to tighter,
more organic integration between the two sites, every page on the
Hi-Tech site now has a direct connection to related products and services
on the Business Directory site, via one or more unobtrusive links
embedded in the navigation bar towards the top of the page. These
links are logically related to the page the reader is on and colour coding
is applied consistently throughout both sites to provide visual cues.
This integration works both ways, so if you’re browsing a category
on HSBD you’ll be provided with links to related Hi-Tech content. We
believe this level of integration between news content and supplier
info is unprecedented.
