 | 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 | 1 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. | | |
| Link text: here.

 | Avoid underlined text - people will click on it and think it's a broken link. | Usability.gov 10:4 | 1 pages |
|
Use something other than underlining for highlighting text, because it looks like a link, and users become
frustrated when the "link" does not work. | | |

| | Omitting 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 }

| | Provide a search option on each page of content-rich web sites. | Usability.gov 17:4 | 5 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. | | |

| | This page title is not unique. Each page should have a descriptive and meaningfully different title. | Usability.gov 9:2 | 4 pages |
|
Title refers to the text displayed on browser tabs, favorites, and in search engines results pages. If two or more pages have the same title, they cannot be differentiated by users or the Favorites capability of the browser. | | |

| | Use text links rather than image links. In general, text links are more easily recognized as clickable. | Usability.gov 10:6 | 7 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. | | |

 | Use a familiar font (Times, Georgia, Arial, Helvetica or Verdana) to achieve the best possible reading speed. | Usability.gov 11:7 | 1 pages |
|
Research shows no reliable differences in reading speed or user preferences for twelve point Times New Roman or Georgia (serif fonts), or Arial, Helvetica, or Verdana (sans serif fonts).
Other fonts may slow reading speed. | | |

| | Use at least a 12-point font on all web pages. | Usability.gov 11:8 | 1 pages |
|
For users over age 65, it may be better to use at least fourteen-point fonts.
Never use less than nine-point font on a Web site.
The following are all smaller than 12 point:
- <p style="font-size: 11pt;" >
- <p style="font-size: 15px;" >
- <p style="font-size: small;" >
- <font size="2" >
- <font size="-1" >
