Site Help
The City has gone to great
lengths to improve its web presence and accomplish its goal of providing greater
access to government information and services. Along the way, the website has
grown to include many more facts and figures contained in many more options.
More options can translate to more opportunities, but can also increase the
possibility for confusion. Therefore, this page is intended to assist you in
your use of this site. If, after viewing the information provided on this page,
you are having difficulty locating the information you need, feel free to e-mail
our
webmaster for additional help.

Upon first glance, you will
undoubtedly notice a large montage of images near the top of the page reflecting
the beauty of Inglewood. Just above this graphic are seven blue “buttons”
indicating the main areas for navigation through the site.

as those visiting. Major topics facing those within the City are also provided
here.

a calendar of events and public meetings within Inglewood.

the services offered to Inglewood residents, businesses and visitors.
· City

offer.
· F.A.Q.s

popular question you have. Questions are segmented by category to assist in
your search.

Below the montage, information areas are segmented
into three columns. On the left are: (colors may vary due to monitor settings,
etc.) a lavender box with upcoming events, a brown box with a quick survey, and
a blue box with downloadable forms. The middle column will house the news
stories and other items of importance. The right includes three more
information boxes; green for items significant to those living in Inglewood;
orange for items related to working in Inglewood; and yellow for those
visiting our fine community.
Searching For Desired Information
You may notice a new function to the City’s
website: a powerful and accurate Search. In fact, our new website contains
many different ways you can find the information you desire. If you are
not familiar with the City’s structure of Departments, one can:
1) Use the Search function;
2) Click on a link in the highlighted (colored) information boxes;
3) View the A-Z Index;
4) Access the FAQ’s page to answer a question;
5) Use the list of Services; or, if you are already familiar with the
City’s Departments,
6) Find your information among City Department pages.
Breadcrumbs
To help familiarize you with the file structure of
this site, and to keep you aware of where you are within the site, we have added
“breadcrumbs”. Breadcrumbs list the path you have taken to arrive at your
current page. Breadcrumbs will be found just under the blue buttons on
“secondary” pages (away from the home page). Example
of breadcrumbs: 
Finding Your Way Back Home
If you ever need to get back to the City’s
homepage, there are a few different ways to accomplish this. First, the City’s
logo along the top of the page will act as a hyperlink and transport you (back)
to the City’s homepage. You can also click on “Homepage” or the home icon ( )
in the “breadcrumbs” line (see “Breadcrumbs” above). If you decide to save the
City’s homepage as your default “home” page, you can return to the City’s
homepage by clicking on the Home button on your browser.
