- Make sure link and database assets display their description below the link. Don't hide the description behind a hover-over button as this breaks accessibility. You can do this by choosing the 'Links & Lists' style of Links box rather than the 'Simple Web Links' in version 1, or choosing the 'Display beneath item title' option in version 2.
For example:
Version 1
Version 2
- Break up long list of items into logical groups so that it can be skipped by screen readers.
- Make sure linked text makes sense out of context. Ambiguous phrasing obscures what the link is about.
For example:
Visit the Accessibility page for more information. (good: clear where the link goes)
Click here for more information about accessibility. (bad: unclear where the link goes)
