At the top you'll see headings:

Depending on what your company does, you will see different headings at the top. In our example, we are a crew manager/employer and here you'll see 6 headings: Roles, Details, Logo, About Us, Offices and Vessel Types. If you click on a heading it will take you down the page to that section.

Note that there are other sections on the page but the headings will take you down to the main ones.

The page will be blank at first and you will need to fill in your information. We will take you through the employer version below but the basics of filling in info are the same for all companies.
