Priority 1 2 issues on 9 pages
	Have a link labeled 'Home' on every page on the site, except for the home page.	Usability.gov 5:1	1 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.

	Users should be able to quickly look at each link and tell where it goes.	Usability.gov 10:1	9 pages
	Don't use generic link labels like "click here" or "read more" because they're hard to tell apart when users scan a page.

	An active 'Home' link on the home page makes some users think that it's not the home page.	Usability.gov 5:6	1 pages

	Omitting IMG WIDTH or HEIGHT attributes means page text jumps about as images load.	Usability.gov 14:3	8 pages
	This makes the page very hard to read while it's loading, and the user may click on the wrong link if it moves as it's being clicked. Add width and height attributes to the img tag matching the image dimensions. Authoring tools like Dreamweaver can automate this process.

	Provide a search option on each page of content-rich web sites.	Usability.gov 17:4	7 pages
	A search option should be provided on all pages where it may be useful - users should not have to return to the homepage to conduct a search. Search engines can be helpful on content-rich web sites, but do not add value on other types of sites.

Priority 3 1 issues on 1 pages
	Use link text between 3 and 100 characters so it's long enough to be understood, but avoids line wrapping.	Usability.gov 10:11	1 pages
	A single word text link may not give enough information about the link's destination. A link that is a full sentence is difficult to read quickly, particularly if it wraps to another line.
