Descriptive Text Links

Making Links Meaningful

We all like to know where we are going, even online. When you come across a link on a webpage or in a document, you like to know what website or file you'll see when you click on it. Making a link "descriptive", helps everyone and makes your directions or guidance clearer.

Tips:

• Do not show the url

• Describe the location/content

• Make the description understandable out of context

• Avoid vague text like 

  • “click here”

  • “read more”
