Creating Accessible Links

Accessible links are called descriptive links, which is handy as a reminder to be descriptive when adding links. Links need to use meaningful descriptive text that clearly indicates the destination of the link.

  • Avoid writing a link that only reads "Click here" with no other context.
  • Instead of writing "Click here" . . . be descriptive: Our Accessibility Learning Hub will help you create web content everyone can access.

In addition to using descriptionve text, make sure hyperlinks are visually distinct from surrounding text (e.g., underlined and in a different color).
