    Written content displayed on web pages, the primary means of communicating information to visitors. Quality text content is essential for engagement, SEO, and accessibility. Structure text with headings, short paragraphs, and scannable formatting.

  • Hyperlink

    General

    A clickable connection between pages or resources, the fundamental navigation mechanism of the web. Hyperlinks should have descriptive text indicating their destination rather than generic ‘click here’ labels. Style links consistently with clear visual distinction from surrounding text.

  • CTA Button
