Website navigation made easy!

Throughout the four years that Quoakle has been growing, we've made navigation a high priority - helping our users go from page to page quickly and easily, so they and you can find what you're looking for.

At the bottom of each page, you may have noticed links to other topics in that county, but before now, we've not been able to travel from say, our 'Days out' page in one county over to another 'Days Out' in a different county. Well - now you can!

Mark and Jeremy have worked really hard to create a drop down box, that will develop over the next few weeks, allowing all our visitors to travel from county to county and stay with a particular topic.

Try it out now! Go to www.quoakle.com and choose your topic. I've been working a lot in the garden recently, so I'd choose Gloucestershire, then Gardening to look for local Garden Centres. I'm willing to travel a bit, and live closely to Herefordshire, and now I can 'Choose another County' at the top of the page, and instantly look at the Garden Centres available in Herefordshire!

We're really excited about this new development and love using it. We're sure you will do too!

Quoakle team out and about


This week, a small number of the Quoakle team ventured out into local business districts in Gloucester, to spread some good news about Quoakle - the quick link to local websites. Above is a picture of them about to go into Gloucester Quays.

Nigel, Sean, Maria and John took to the streets visiting shops and businesses, engaging with the public and with shop workers. They handed out our most recent leaflet 'Great things to do for the summer holidays', encouraging friends and families to check out the Days Out pages of Quoakle to see what they can do during the summer break.

You can browse the Days Out and Leisure pages here and view a host of Museums, art galleries, sports, family attractions, watersports and lots more!
