## Starting from the homepage to find business services When you arrive on the homepage in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the quickest places to look for business services are the **top navigation bar**, the **Services** area in the page body, and any prominent action buttons that lead into service pages. These entry points work together, but they serve slightly different browsing styles. At the top of the page, the header stays available as you move through the site. This is the fastest route if you already know you want to explore a service category such as **Accounting Services**. In the homepage body, service cards and promotional sections help you browse more visually. These sections usually give you a short introduction before you open a full page, which is useful if you are still deciding what kind of help you need. Above the fold, focus on: - The main navigation bar - The services menu in the header - Primary call-to-action buttons near the hero section Further down the homepage, you may find: - Service cards - Comparison-style content - Business service highlights - Links that introduce specific offerings in more detail If you want the fastest path, use the header. If you want more context first, scroll through the homepage sections and open a service from a card or featured block. Both routes can lead to the same destination, but the homepage body usually gives you more explanation before you click. [SCREENSHOT: Homepage showing the top navigation bar, hero area, and service-related links in the page body] For a broader introduction to moving around public pages, see [Browsing the Sherkety Public Website](doc:browsing-the-sherkety-public-website) and [Using Header Menus and Footer Links](doc:using-header-menus-and-footer-links). ## Using the header navigation to browse service categories Use the header navigation when you want to move directly to a service area without scrolling through the homepage. In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the header is the most reliable place to browse service categories because it stays consistent while you move between public pages. 1. Open the homepage or any public page where the main header is visible. 2. Find the menu item that groups business services. 3. Hover over it or tap it to open the service menu. 4. Scan the category labels and service links shown in the dropdown. 5. Select the service you want, such as **Accounting Services**. This menu is especially helpful when you want to compare options quickly. You can review the available service names from one place instead of opening several pages one by one. If the menu includes grouped links, use those groupings to understand how Sherkety ERP & Website Platform organizes its offerings before choosing a page. After you select a link, look for visual confirmation that you are in the right section. Helpful signs include: - A page heading that matches the service you selected - A highlighted or active state in the header navigation - A breadcrumb trail showing your current location These cues matter when service names are similar or when a category page leads to several related pages. If you open a general service section first, continue using the links on that page to reach the more specific destination you need. [SCREENSHOT: Header service menu expanded with grouped service links visible] If you want more detail on shared navigation patterns, see [Understanding Breadcrumbs and Page Location](doc:understanding-breadcrumbs-and-page-location) and [Understanding Breadcrumbs Drawers and Shared Navigation Patterns](doc:understanding-breadcrumbs-drawers-and-shared-navigation-patterns). ## Comparing homepage links and menu paths to the same service page You can often reach the same service page in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform in more than one way. A common example is opening **Accounting Services** either from a homepage service card or from the header service menu. The destination may be the same, but the path changes what you see before you arrive. A homepage service card is better when you are exploring. It usually appears alongside other services, so you can compare several options visually before choosing one. You may see a short summary, a supporting headline, or nearby sections that explain why that service matters. This route is useful when you are still deciding between accounting, company registration, or another business service. The header menu is better when you already know what you want. It removes the need to scroll and gives you a more direct route. Instead of reading homepage summaries first, you jump straight from the menu to the dedicated page. Here is a simple comparison: | Path | Best for | What you see before opening the page | |---|---|---| | Homepage service card | Exploring options | Service teasers, nearby highlights, grouped homepage context | | Header service menu | Direct access | Category labels and link names only | | On-page service links from a category page | Narrowing down | Related services within the same section | If both paths lead to **Accounting Services**, use the page heading and breadcrumb to confirm you arrived at the same dedicated page. This helps when one route passes through a broader service category first and another opens the page directly. [SCREENSHOT: Side-by-side example of a homepage service card and the matching header menu link for Accounting Services] For more on comparing service content after you arrive, continue with [Using Comparison Sections to Evaluate Offerings](doc:using-comparison-sections-to-evaluate-offerings). ## Opening a dedicated service page such as Accounting Services Once you choose a service link, Sherkety ERP & Website Platform opens the dedicated page for that offering. Using **Accounting Services** as an example, the first thing to do is confirm that the page you opened is the detailed service page, not a broader category overview. 1. Click **Accounting Services** from the homepage or the header service menu. 2. Wait for the page to load fully. 3. Check the main page title or hero heading. 4. Look for a breadcrumb trail near the top of the page. 5. Review the header navigation to see whether the current section is highlighted. After you confirm the page, start reading from the top section down. A dedicated service page usually gives you more than a short homepage summary. Look for: - A service overview that explains the offering - Feature or benefit highlights - Comparison or supporting sections that help you evaluate fit - Contact, inquiry, demo, or next-step buttons These sections are there to help you move from interest to decision. If you are comparing providers or deciding whether the service matches your business needs, stay on the dedicated page rather than relying on the shorter homepage text. You can also use on-page buttons and links to continue deeper. Depending on what is shown, these may lead you to related business services, pricing details, comparison content, or a contact path where you can ask questions or request the next step. [SCREENSHOT: Accounting Services page showing the page title, breadcrumb, feature highlights, and inquiry button] The next document in this series, [Exploring the Accounting Services Page](doc:exploring-the-accounting-services-page), goes deeper into what to look for after you arrive. ## Choosing the fastest path based on how you browse The best route depends on whether you are browsing broadly or heading to a known destination. Sherkety ERP & Website Platform supports both styles, so choosing the right path saves time and helps you avoid opening the wrong page. Use homepage service cards when you want to compare services visually. This is the better choice if you are still deciding between several business services and want to read short summaries before committing to a full page. Because the cards appear inside the homepage flow, you can compare nearby sections and promotional content at the same time. Use the header service menu when you already know the service or category name you want. This route is faster because it avoids scrolling. It also works well when you return to the site and want to reopen a page you have already visited, such as **Accounting Services**. To stay oriented while moving between pages, check: - The **page heading** at the top of the page - The **breadcrumb trail** - The **active navigation state** in the header These three cues help you tell the difference between: - A homepage section with a short teaser - A broader service category page - A dedicated service page with full details When you need detailed information, always prefer the dedicated page. Homepage summaries are useful for discovery, but they are not the best place to evaluate the full offer, compare benefits, or decide on your next action. If you want a broader view of public-page actions, see [Using Public Calls to Action and Conversion Paths](doc:using-public-calls-to-action-and-conversion-paths). ## Common issues when service pages are hard to find If a service page feels difficult to locate, the issue is usually the navigation path rather than the page being unavailable. In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the easiest fix is to switch from scrolling the homepage to using the main header. If you do not see the service menu, first check whether you are viewing the full site header or a collapsed mobile-style navigation. On smaller screens, menu items may be hidden behind a menu button. Open that menu first, then look for the services section inside it. If you land on a general category page instead of a dedicated page such as **Accounting Services**, keep going by using: - Child links in the service menu - Service links listed on the category page - Buttons inside the page body that lead to the detailed offering When several links seem similar, compare the **page title** and **breadcrumb**. A category overview usually has a broader label, while a dedicated service page focuses on one named offering. This is the quickest way to confirm whether you are in the right place without backtracking repeatedly. If you cannot easily find **Accounting Services** from the homepage body, stop scrolling and use the header service menu as the direct route. This is usually faster than searching through multiple homepage sections. [SCREENSHOT: Example of a general service page versus a dedicated Accounting Services page, with page title and breadcrumb highlighted] If you run into loading or missing-content messages while browsing, see [Understanding Loading Placeholders Empty States and Errors](doc:understanding-loading-placeholders-empty-states-and-errors) and [Responding to Missing Content and Retry Messages](doc:responding-to-missing-content-and-retry-messages). ## Overview This page of the documentation focuses on one practical task: finding business services quickly in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. As a visitor, you can reach service pages from more than one starting point, and this guide helps you understand which route is best for the way you browse. The main navigation choices covered here are: - The **top header navigation** - The **service menu** in the header - **Homepage service cards** - **Prominent calls to action** that lead into service pages The guide uses **Accounting Services** as the clearest example of a dedicated service page because it shows how several navigation paths can lead to the same destination. You learn how to move from the homepage into a specific service page, how to recognize whether you opened a broad category or a detailed page, and how to use visible page cues such as headings, breadcrumbs, and active menu states. This guide is most useful if you are: - Visiting the public website for the first time - Comparing several business services - Trying to reopen a known service page quickly - Unsure whether a link leads to a category overview or a dedicated page It does not go deep into the content of the Accounting Services page itself. That is covered next in [Exploring the Accounting Services Page](doc:exploring-the-accounting-services-page). If you need a more general introduction to moving around the public website before focusing on services, start with [Navigating Public Pages and Entry Points](doc:navigating-public-pages-and-entry-points). ## Prerequisites You do not need an account or admin access to follow this guide. Everything described here takes place on the public-facing website in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. Before you begin, make sure you have: - Access to the homepage or another public page with the main header visible - A screen size where you can open the site navigation comfortably - Enough time to move between the homepage, the service menu, and at least one service page It helps if you are already familiar with a few basic website elements: - The **main header** - Dropdown or expandable menus - Page headings - Breadcrumb navigation - Buttons and text links inside page sections If you are on a phone or a narrow screen, expect the navigation to appear in a collapsed menu instead of a full-width header. You can still follow the same steps, but you may need to open the main menu first before the service links appear. This guide assumes you want to browse public business services such as **Accounting Services**. If your goal is different, these related guides may be a better starting point: - [Switching Languages While Browsing the Platform](doc:switching-languages-while-browsing-the-platform) - [Browsing Company Type Guidance and Registration Content](doc:browsing-company-type-guidance-and-registration-content) - [Discovering ERP Products and Packages](doc:discovering-erp-products-and-packages) From here, continue to [Exploring the Accounting Services Page](doc:exploring-the-accounting-services-page) to look more closely at what appears after you open a dedicated service page.
