Verified

• Identify how to link from the home page to another page in the same Web site.Linking to another Web page in the same Web site is often done with text links.When determining what words to use,make sure that the text links are clear and easy to understand.Using a phrase such as "click here" is not one that clearly identifies where the link will go.Choosing words such as "sample photographs" tells the Web site visitor to click that link if they want to see a sample photographs.
• Use an e-mail link on the home page.A good standard practice is to include an e-mail link on the home page.Again,using words such as "click here" are not as effective as using a company's actual e-mail address as the e-mail link text.
• Determine external links for the home page.Visitors to a Web site might want additional information on a topic,so a link also can be included on the home page.Linking to an external Web site (i.e. ,one that is outside of the boundaries of the current Web site)is appropriate to provide additional information.Again,it is important to select words or phrases that make sense for that link.
• Use internal links on long Web pages.Another good standard practice is to include links within a Web page when the page is long (i.e. ,when you have use the scroll bar or to press the PAGE DOWN key several times to get to the end of the Web page).Internal links help visitors navigate more easily within long Web pages.Also consider using links to help the visitor easily return back to the top of a long Web page.
