Web Editing Tips & Tricks

When saving an image's file name or a webpage's URL: don't use spaces, and do use hyphens ( - ) instead of underscores ( _ ). It keeps the individual words within the URL legible.

Try to avoid using PDFs whenever possible. Here's a nifty little guide for determining how to approach the PDF question: PDF Curation: A Guide to Digital Compliance. Contact me if you would like any help converting PDF information into accessible forms or webpages.

For links & buttons:

  • Try to make the text brief but descriptive
  • Instead of "Click here", try to describe what clicking will actually do or where the link will actually lead
  • Avoid having multiple links on the same page which have the same text but go to different locations
