3 steps to successful and accessible links
1. Visual cue
Link is in paragraph
- Visual cue such as underline or bold is present
- Colour contrast between body text and link text is greater than or equal to 3:1.
Links alone or in a list
- Visual cue such as underline or bold is present
2. Link purpose
- Link text informs the user where the link is taking them
- ‘click here’ or ‘read more’ links should be avoided
3. On hover and on focus
- Both on hover and on focus needs to be specified
- Visual cue used must not rely on colour alone
