What to Look For (Everyone)

  • Do links explain where they go?
  • Do you see 鈥渃lick here鈥 or 鈥渞ead more鈥?
  • Why This Matters

Screen reader users often scan links separately from text. Vague links create confusion.

How to Fix It (Editors)

  • Use descriptive link text (e.g., 鈥淎pply for Financial Aid, View Financial Aid Waiver Form鈥, etc.)
  • Avoid raw URLs.
