Guidelines related to hyperlinks on your page(s)...
| Change link color when visited | Many
users expect this
Makes your site less confusing
|
| No generic links | Instead
of click here try click here for Bill's
Lecture
Or, instead of More... try More Photos Not Links try Some really useful sites
|
| Tell the user if link doesn't go to a web page | If
a hyperlink takes the user to some special type of page, then note
that... examples: PDF, Office files, Flash, audio, etc.
|
| Place navigation area in a highly visible spot | If
your hyperlinks are collected in one "navigation area", then
place this in a prominent location on your page
If you use the navigation area throughout your site, place it on the same place in all the pages that use it
|
| Avoid links to the current page | Navigation
area may include a link to the current page... disable it
|
| Shopping cart links at the top | Currently,
a very common practice
|
| Use images for hyperlinks | Where
possible
