Avoid directional language

Because websites are responsive, content changes based on the size of the screen used. Avoid using directional language such as above, below, left, or right. 

  • Non-directional language (use): Select from the following options
  • Directional language (avoid): Select from the options below

Use descriptive links

Never use the words “click here” or “learn more.” Instead, use descriptive links. Descriptive links help people understand the context of the link and click before they take action. Describe links that highlight the subject, not the action.

  • Descriptive links (use): Contact our agency for more information about local services.
  • Click here links (avoid): Click here to contact our agency for information about our services.

After you added your media you will select the url for the link and the link text.

 The link description is optional if you would like to give more context to the user but just keep in mind the 120 character limit and then you can select save.
