Guidelines for Visualizing Links

• Link standard
  • one color that doesn't change throughout the page (blue)
  • underlined
    • all links should be underlined
    • no other text should be underlined
  • a seperate color for links that have been visited (usually a dimmer color)
  • usability for older users and users with disabilities
    • make text for links large enough to read
    • make links large enough to click on for those with limited motor skills
    • obvious difference between main text and link is necessary (underlined and blue)
