CriticalHave a link labeled 'Home' on every page on the site, except for the home page. Usability.gov 5:1 5 pages
Many sites place the organization's logo on the top of every page and link it to the homepage. While many users expect logos are clickable, around 25% will not realize that links to the homepage. Therefore, include a link labeled 'Home' near the top of the page to help those users.

Very ImportantOmitting img width or height attributes makes the page layout jump about as images load. Usability.gov 14:3 W3C 6 pages
This makes the page very hard to read or click while it's loading. Fix by adding width and height attributes to the img tag matching the image dimensions. In responsive layouts, specifying width and height prevents layout jumping because the browser can pre-calculate the final image size when CSS like this is used: img { max-width: 100%; height: auto }

Very ImportantUse text links rather than image links. In general, text links are more easily recognized as clickable. Usability.gov 10:6 6 pages
Text links usually download faster, are preferred by users, and should change colors after being selected. It is usually easier to convey a link's destination in text, rather than with the use of an image. Users often find it hard to tell which images are clickable without moving the cursor over them ('minesweeping'). Another benefit to using text links is that users with text-only and deactivated graphical browsers can see the navigation options.

  • <font size="2" >
  • <font size="-1" >
