Don’t click here. No, really, don’t.

How to easily add value when including links in your content

  • Click here for more information (about what?)
  • Follow the process here (which process?)
  • Submit the webform here (which webform?)
  • See the instructions here (which instructions?)

*These links are not links. Just saying …

Using ‘here’ as your link text isn’t very helpful. Plus it goes against best practice usability principles as it’s not kind to people who use assistive software for vision impairments. The app will read out the links as ‘here, here and here’. 

‘Here’ doesn’t tell your reader where you’re taking them. ‘Here’ is what you should do instead:

  • To find out more see: Managing Complaints
  • Follow the Cheque Refunds process
  • Submit our Contact Us webform
  • See: How to apply for course credits

Much more informative. Helps everyone.
