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
