Very Important An active 'Home' link on the home page makes some users think that it's not the home page. Usability.gov 5:6 1 pages
https://lccjobs.liverpool.gov.uk/Line 46
Very ImportantAvoid 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.

Very ImportantKeep URLs shorter than 78 characters so they don't wrap when emailed. W3C 1 pages

Very ImportantOmitting img width or height attributes makes the page layout jump about as images load. Usability.gov 14:3 W3C 7 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 }

Very ImportantOn long pages, provide a list of contents with links that take users to the corresponding content farther down the page. Usability.gov 7:3 1 pages
For long pages with distinct sections, add a short, clickable list of sections at the top of the page. This provides a page outline, and allows users to quickly navigate to specific information.
https://lccjobs.liverpool.gov.uk/Line 1
Very ImportantProvide a search option on each page of content-rich web sites. Usability.gov 17:4 4 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.

Very ImportantThis page has a default title like 'Untitled' or 'Title'. Each page should have a descriptive and meaningfully different title. Usability.gov 9:2 1 pages
Title refers to the text shown in each browser tab, and displayed in search engines results pages. If two or more pages have the same title, they cannot be differentiated by users or the Bookmarks capability of the browser.

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" >

Less ImportantUse 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.
