Accessibility for Links Blocks

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Links connects users to additional resources and improves the navigation experience. Ensuring that they're accessible allows community members with disabilities to navigate your website seamlessly.

Ensure that all links follow best practices for creating accessible links.

Make sure that your links follow best practices and apply these improvements to the Links feature page. Once the fixes are made, you can dismiss the Links Block issue.

Links Best Practices

Use descriptive link text

Avoid vague text like "Click here". Instead, use "Our Mission Statement."

Test links regularly

Check if all links are functional and lead to the intended pages.

Keep the description short and simple

If a link's text exceeds 100 characters, it is likely to overwhelm the user, making it hard to understand the link's destination quickly.

Avoid using text that start with "link to"

Starting the link text with "link to" is redundant since screen readers automatically announce the presence of a link.
