CriticalHave 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.

Very ImportantLimit the amount of prose text on the home page - try to use less than 30 sentences.Usability.gov 5:5 1 pages
The first action of most users is to scan the homepage for link titles and major headings. Requiring users to read large amounts of prose text can slow them considerably, or they may avoid reading it altogether.

Very ImportantOmitting IMG WIDTH or HEIGHT attributes means page text jumps about as images load.Usability.gov 14:3 2 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.

Very ImportantThe IMG WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes don't match the actual image size. This means the image will be scaled or distorted.W3C 2 pages

Very ImportantUse text links rather than image links. In general, text links are more easily recognized as clickable.Usability.gov 10:6 2 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.
