dynamic pool of information. The texts are
written by experts and are supplemented by
archive materials and pictures taken by
professional photographers. The project

Visit Prishtina consists of two hierarchical

Instruction for use
The travel and tourist guide Visit Prishtina
was designed with the end-user in mind, with
the aim of having a highly user-friendly
website. As a result, the website is easy to
navigate and is intuitive. However, if you
are having difficulties in finding what you
want, we advice you read the following
instructions. Do not forget to email us any
suggestion for improving the website.
General principles
Visit Prishtina is a closed internet
environment, i.e. the user can navigate
between different sub-divisions and
articles, but there are no links leading
outside of the website. This ensures the
reliability of the website as well as the
standard of the information on offer.
The guide is currently only available in
English.
The articles are located on three levels,
depending on how general or specific the
topic is. Choosing one main topic, the user
can read an introductory article and/or the
main articles where narrower Prishtina tourism
topics are presented.
Opening page
This is the first web page you see when you
enter the Visit Prishtina (www.visitprishtina.com)
travel and tourist guide. The user can read
the general overview, go to the main Visit
Prishtina introductory article, access the
search engine, visit other Giskos (www.giskos.com)
websites, and send feedback to the Visit
Prishtina editors.
Main window
In order to make Visit Prishtina guide more
user-friendly, we use similar design and
appearance for all introductory and main
articles. Supplementary texts open in
separate windows with the same design.
Clicking on the Visit Prishtina logo at the top
of the page, the user can return to the
opening page. Also at the top of the page
are three quicklinks: contact, A to Z index,
and help. Search engine is situated just
below the quicklinks. The main sections of
the website can be accessed by clicking on
the left-hand side of the page. The
right-hand side of the page contains links
to similar articles, sponsor information,
and other relevant links. The text of the
article appears in the middle of the window.
Just above the text a picture from Prishtina is
displayed with relevant description.
By pointing at the ‘Print’ icon at the top
of each article, the user will reformat it,
cancel the menu and illustrations, and the
result is revealed in a new window. The user
can thus get a clean printout of the
selected article.
Search Engine
When visiting a website, there is nothing worse
than searching for the search engine. Thus, our
search engine appears at the top
right-hand corner of each page, except
the opening page where it appears below the
general overview. The search engine is
powered by Atomz, and can be used to search
all articles within Visit Prishtina guide. The
search results are exceptionally accurate,
but you could make it even better by thinking
of good keywords.
Feedback
We at Visit Prishtina believe that a good
website is the one that can fulfils the
needs of the users, not the builders. It is
because of this that we pay particular
attention to all the feedback we receive
from you. To send your comments and
observations to the team designing and
editing Visit Prishtina guide click at the ‘contact’ link at the top of each web page.
A special window will open for you to type
in your comments. Thank You.
