How to add descriptive links
Use meaningful and descriptive text
Instead of linking to non-descriptive text such as “Click here” OR “MORE”, use meaningful text such as “Click here to take the survey” or “More about APH”.
If the title on the hyperlink’s destination page gives an accurate summary of what’s on the page, use it for the hyperlink text. Such an example of a destination page would be: “APH Accessibility Guidelines”.
