When building a website:

Text

  • Displayed URLs (especially in user-generated content) should automatically become clickable links. Typically the links should open in another window, so that the user is not taken away from your website.
  • Be sure that text is legible:
    • Do not display dim text on a dark background.
    • Do not display grey text on grey.
    • Do not display light text on a light background.
