Using Header Navigation Across Public Pages

Finding Your Way from the Header on Any Public Page

On the public website in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the header is the bar that stays at the top of the page while you move between visitor-facing pages. You will see it on pages such as the homepage, company type pages, ERP pages, and service-related pages. This header gives you a consistent place to move around without needing to scroll to the footer or use your browser controls.

The most recognizable item in the header is the Sherkety brand logo. This acts as a quick return point to the homepage. If you are reading about a company type, reviewing an ERP app, or browsing service information, the logo gives you a simple way to jump back to the main starting page.

Next to the logo, you will usually find the main navigation links. These are the top-level menu items that take you to major public sections of the site. Depending on the page setup, these links may lead to areas such as services, pricing, ERP information, company guidance, or contact pages. These links are for browsing public content, so you do not need to sign in to use them.

You may also notice a more prominent button in the header. Unlike a standard text link, this button is designed to draw attention to an important action, such as contacting Sherkety, requesting a demo, or signing in. Think of the header as having three different navigation tools:

• Logo: returns you to the homepage
• Main menu links: move you between major public sections
• Highlighted action button: takes you to an important next step

Using the Logo to Return to the Homepage

If you are deep inside the public website and want to restart from the main landing page, the logo in the header is the fastest route back. This is useful when you have opened a company type detail page, an ERP app page such as Accounting or HR, or another informational page and want to return to the homepage banner and featured sections.

1. Open any public page in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform.
2. Look at the top-left area of the header.
3. Find the Sherkety logo.
4. Click or tap the logo once.

After you select the logo, the page should change to the homepage. You should expect to see the main homepage layout again, including the top banner area and the featured sections that introduce the website’s main offerings. From there, you can continue browsing services, ERP content, company information, or contact options from the homepage entry points.

Using the logo is often quicker than using the browser Back button because it takes you directly to the homepage in one step. It also helps when you reached the current page from a menu, a card, or a button and do not want to retrace each click.

A few practical examples:

• If you opened Company Types and then a specific company type page, click the logo to return to the homepage.
• If you opened the ERP System area and then viewed an app page such as Accounting, Sales & CRM, HR, or Reporting, click the logo to start over from the main site.
• If you followed a contact or information path and want to browse again from the beginning, use the logo instead of reopening the site.

Opening Top-Level Pages from the Main Navigation Menu

The main navigation menu in the header lets you move directly between major public pages in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. Instead of returning to the homepage each time, you can use these links to jump straight to another section that matches what you want to explore next.

1. Go to any public page with the website header visible.
2. Look across the header for the main menu links.
3. Click or tap the section you want to open.
4. Wait for the new page to load in the same browser tab.

These menu links are designed for public browsing. You can use them whether you are comparing services, reviewing ERP offerings, reading company guidance, or looking for contact information. They do not require an admin account or sign-in unless you choose a sign-in destination on purpose.

As you move through the site, the current top-level section may appear visually different from the others. This active menu state helps confirm where you are. For example, if you are viewing ERP-related content, the matching menu item may appear highlighted compared with the rest of the header links. This is useful when you move between related pages and want a quick visual cue about the section you are currently in.

When you click another top-level link, Sherkety ERP & Website Platform replaces the current public page with the new one. You stay inside the public website experience, but the main content area changes to the section you selected.

Common destinations reached from the main menu can include:

• Service-related pages
• ERP product pages
• Pricing information
• Company information pages
• Contact pages

Using Header Controls to Reach Key Visitor Actions

In addition to standard menu links, the header in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform may include a prominent action button or utility link that takes you to an important next step. These controls are different from regular navigation because they are meant to help you act, not just browse.

A standard menu link usually opens a broad section, such as services, ERP information, or contact content. A highlighted header button is more direct. It may take you to a page where you can contact Sherkety, request a demo, start a trial, or sign in. Because these buttons are visually emphasized, they are often the fastest route when you already know what you want to do.

Use the header action button when your goal is clear, such as:

• You want to speak with the team
• You want to request more information
• You want to book a demo
• You want to access the sign-in page

Use the main menu instead when you are still exploring options and want to compare pages before taking action.

You may also see utility-style links in the header that lead to customer access or inquiry destinations. For example, a Sign In option serves a different purpose from a menu link about ERP products. One takes you into account access, while the other helps you browse public information.

A simple way to decide:

If you are deciding between browsing and taking action, this header area is often the quickest place to choose your next step.

Navigating on Smaller Screens with the Mobile Header Menu

On phones and tablets, the header in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform uses a more compact layout. Instead of showing every top-level link across the top, the site usually collapses the navigation into a menu icon. This keeps the header clean and leaves more room for page content.

1. Open the public website on a smaller screen.
2. Look at the top of the page for the header.
3. Find the menu icon in the header.
4. Tap the menu icon to open the mobile navigation list.
5. Tap the page or section you want to visit.
6. After the selection opens, return to reading the page content.

When the mobile menu opens, it shows the same public navigation choices that you would normally use on desktop. This means you can still reach major sections such as services, ERP pages, company information, and contact destinations even when the full menu is not visible at first glance.

After you choose an item, the mobile menu should close and the new page should appear. If the menu stays open, look for a close icon or tap the menu control again. On some layouts, selecting a destination automatically returns you to the page content.

The logo still remains useful on smaller screens. If you want to leave the current page and go back to the homepage, tap the logo in the header just as you would on desktop.

Mobile navigation works best when you use one action at a time:

• Open the menu
• Choose a destination
• Let the page load
• Reopen the menu only if you want another section

Fixing Common Problems When Header Links Do Not Behave as Expected

If a header link does not behave the way you expect, start by checking what kind of header item you selected. In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the logo, menu links, and action buttons each serve different purposes, so a result that seems unexpected may simply be the intended destination.

If clicking the logo does not return you to the homepage:

• Refresh the page and try the logo again.
• Make sure you are still on a public website page, such as a service page, ERP page, or company information page.
• If you previously opened another destination from a special button, confirm that you are not on a separate sign-in or action page before testing the logo again.

If a top-level menu link seems to be missing:

• Remember that visible header items can vary based on the published website setup.
• Open the mobile menu if you are on a smaller screen, since some links may be hidden behind the menu icon.
• Check another public page to see whether the same menu layout appears there.

If the mobile menu does not open or close correctly:

• Reload the page and tap the menu icon again.
• Make sure you are tapping the menu icon itself, not the page content around it.
• After opening the menu, tap one item once and wait for the page to respond.

If a header button opens a page you did not expect:

• Check whether the item is a call-to-action button such as Contact, Demo, or Sign In.
• Treat highlighted buttons as action shortcuts rather than standard browsing links.

If you continue to lose track of where a link took you, pair the header with page location cues from Understanding Breadcrumbs and Page Location.

Overview

The header is the main navigation anchor across public pages in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. It gives you a consistent way to move between the homepage, service content, ERP pages, company guidance, and contact destinations without relying on browser controls. Because the header stays available as you browse, it is the fastest place to decide whether you want to keep exploring or take a direct action.

The most important parts of the header are easy to separate once you know what each one does:

• The logo returns you to the homepage
• The main navigation menu opens major public sections
• The highlighted action button takes you to a specific next step such as contact, demo, trial, or sign-in

This distinction matters because each header item supports a different browsing goal. If you want to restart from the main entry point, use the logo. If you want to compare sections, use the top-level menu. If you are ready to act, use the highlighted button or utility link.

The header also adapts to screen size. On desktop, you typically see the menu links directly in the top bar. On smaller screens, those same options move into a mobile menu opened from a menu icon. Even though the layout changes, the purpose stays the same: helping you reach the same public destinations from any page.

This guide focused on using the header itself. The next document, Understanding Service and ERP Menu Paths, explains what happens after you choose those service and ERP navigation routes.

Prerequisites

You do not need an account to use the public header navigation in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. Before you follow the steps in this guide, make sure you have the basics below in place:

• You are on a public website page, not inside the admin area
• The header is visible at the top of the page
• You can see either the full menu links or the mobile menu icon
• Your page has finished loading before you start selecting links

This guide is most useful when you are browsing pages such as:

• The homepage
• Service-related pages
• ERP pages such as Accounting, Sales & CRM, HR, or Reporting
• Company type pages
• Contact or information pages

It also helps to already understand how page location cues work. If you want help identifying where you are after a page opens, review Understanding Breadcrumbs and Page Location before continuing.

Keep these practical points in mind:

• Use the logo when you want the homepage
• Use menu links when you want another major public section
• Use a highlighted header button when you want to take action rather than browse
• On phones and tablets, open the mobile menu first to see the full list of navigation choices

Once you are comfortable with these basics, move on to Understanding Service and ERP Menu Paths to follow the routes behind the main public navigation choices.
