Descriptive Links

  • Why is it important?
    • Screen readers, using by visually impaired people, are often set up to just read out the links.
    • People often scan pages to help them identify the key content or navigation, rather than read every word.

​

  • How should I write good links?
    • Avoid things like ‘click here’ or ‘read more’
    • Make sure links on a page are unique if they go to different locations
    • Make sure links are informative and meaningful (what will the person open when they click on the link)
