 | Do not create or direct users into pages that have no navigational options. No links out of these pages found. | Usability.gov 7:1 | 1 pages |
|
Many web pages contain links that open new browser windows. When these browser windows open,
the Back button is disabled, and if the new window opens full-screen, users may not realize
that a new window has appeared, and become frustrated because they cannot press Back.
Popup windows should contain a prominent control that closes the window.

| | Omitting img width or height attributes makes the page layout jump about as images load. | Usability.gov 14:3 W3C | 1 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 | 1 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 has no title. Each page should have a descriptive and meaningfully different title. | Usability.gov 9:2 | 1 pages |
|
Title refers to the text shown in the browser title bar, displayed when articles are shared on social media
and displayed in search engines results pages.

| | Use text links rather than image links. In general, text links are more easily recognized as clickable. | Usability.gov 10:6 | 1 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 at least a 12-point font on all web pages. | Usability.gov 11:8 | 2 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" >

| | Use bold text sparingly - for one or two words or a short phrase. | Usability.gov 11:5 | 1 pages |

Keep runs of bold text to less than 70 characters.

| | Use link text between 3 and 100 characters so it's long enough to be understood, but avoids line wrapping. | Usability.gov 10:11 | 1 pages |
|
A single word text link may not give enough information about the link's destination. A link that is a full sentence is difficult to read quickly, particularly if it wraps to another line.

 | 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.
