A page filled with identical links such as “read more” asks the surrounding text to do all the explanatory work. When a reader scans quickly, or encounters the links through an assistive tool, that context may be harder to recover.
A descriptive label names the destination or the action. It can stay concise while distinguishing a guide, a reference, and a downloadable file. The visual treatment should also make the link recognizable without requiring a precise hover.
Review the links on one page as a list. Ask whether their labels explain what each destination offers. A few small revisions can make a page easier to navigate while leaving its overall design unchanged.
Try the idea in context.
A link called Read the sizing guide answers a different question from Learn more. The specific label makes the next choice easier to compare.
A thought for the next read.
Try changing the conditions of the visit. Less space, a longer sentence, or a different input method can reveal whether the experience depends on an ideal reader.
- Name the destination or action.
- Distinguish links that lead to different places.
- Check the labels outside their paragraphs.
