 | Avoid underlined text - people will click on it and think it's a broken link. | Usability.gov 10:4 | 1 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 | 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.

| | Use label elements for each data entry field to show what data is expected. | Usability.gov 13:5 | 1 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 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.
