	Have a link labeled 'Home' on every page on the site, except for the home page.	Usability.gov 5:1	4 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	4 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.

	Avoid underlined text - people will click on it and think it's a broken link.	Usability.gov 10:4	2 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	6 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.

	Radio buttons are easier to use than drop-downs when there are 6 choices or fewer.	Usability.gov 13:9	2 pages
	One usability study showed radio buttons give reliably better performance than drop-down lists for mutually exclusive selections. If screen space allows use radio buttons instead of lists/dropdowns with fewer than 7 items.

	Use site maps for web sites that have many pages.	Usability.gov 7:10	1 pages
	Site maps provide an overview of the Web site. They may display the hierarchy of the Web site, may be designed to resemble a traditional table of contents, or may be a simple index.
