Using our Website

Ricardo.com follows a common page structure. Each page is optimised to 800x600 pixels resolution and is based on a three column structure, as well as providing a header and footer at the top and bottom of the page respectively:

• The header at the top of the page provides links to all the main content sections, search facility and login are for registered users
• The left-hand navigation contains a menu that changes to reflect the various sections as you browse through
• The middle of the page is where you’ll find the text of the page you’ve browsed to
• The right-hand column contains adverts and links to features related to the current website. This area is not necessarily present on all our webpages
• The footer at the bottom of the page contains links to Ricardo's Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions as well as the Copyright statement

The only exception to this is the Ricardo.com homepage, which is the portal page to all Ricardo websites.
