- Test your site on various browser types
and window sizes
- Put your pages through a HTML validator like http://validator.w3.org/
- Don't underline text - users will assume it's
a link
- Don't include punctuation marks (commas
etc) in hyperlinks - it looks untidy
- Do use blue text for unvisited links
and red/purple text for visited links - users
understand these
- Don't unnecessarily send users to a new browser
window (<a target=_blank" ...>) - it destroys
the "back" button facility in their browser, which is
the most common way users backtrack. It doesn't necessarily
keep users on your site (the reason people use this
HTML) and it's very annoying.
