Hyperlinks

What:

• Clickable text or images that navigate to other resources or sections.

Why:

• Clear links enhance navigation, especially for users who rely on assistive technologies.

Best Practices:

• Use concise, descriptive link text that indicates the destination or action.
• Avoid raw URLs; describe the target instead.
• Indicate if a link opens a new window or downloads a file.
• Distinguish links with at least two visual cues, such as color and underlining.
• Avoid redundant phrases like "link to", and do not rely solely on tooltips for important information.
