Create Meaningful Links

Avoid vague link text like “click here” or “read more.” These phrases don’t describe the link’s purpose and can create barriers for users navigating with keyboards, screen readers, or mobile devices.

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive text that explains where the link goes.
  • Link a phrase—not just a single word—so it makes sense out of context.
  • Avoid non-informative phrases like:
    • “here”
    • “more”
    • “this link”
    • “info”
