Question

From the list of fifteen (15) questions or statement posted below, select ten (10) questions or statements. You may respond to these in any order that you wish, but be sure to write the number of the question or statement to avoid confusion, along with the entire question at the beginning of your response. You should write one (1) to two (2) strong paragraphs, using complete sentences, and appropriate grammar. Statements requesting lists should include an introductory sentence or two (2) to set the background for your response.

You may refer to your textbook and lecture to support what you are saying; however, you should not express an opinion; your responses must be based on the reading along with Internet or library research. If you copy and paste from a source, you must use direct quotes; however, direct quotes should be used SPARINGLY, if at all. Paraphrase instead. Be sure to cite your sources using APA style, even when you paraphrase. Review your work closely for spelling and grammar errors. Be sure to use complete sentences. We are very interested in responses that demonstrate theory as well as application as appropriate to demonstrate that you know the materials, and how to apply these to your website.

Explanation / Answer

1)What are some of the benefits of providing text links in addition to graphical links?

1)Good link text should not be overly general; don't use "click here." Not only is this phrase device-dependent (it implies a pointing device) it says nothing about what is to be found if the link if followed. Instead of "click here", link text should indicate the nature of the link target, as in "more information about sea lions" or "text-only version of this page". Note that for the latter case (and other format- or language-specific documents), content developers are encouraged to use content negotiation instead, so that users who prefer text versions will have them served automatically.

In addition to clear link text, content developers may specify a value of the "title" attribute that clearly and accurately describes the target of the link.

If more than one link on a page shares the same link text, all those links should point to the same resource. Such consistency will help page design as well as accessibility.

If two or more links refer to different targets but share the same link text, distinguish the links by specifying a different value for the "title" attribute of each A element.

"Auditory users" -- people who are blind, have difficulty seeing, or who are using devices with small or no displays -- are unable to scan the page quickly with their eyes. To get an overview of a page or to quickly find a link, these users will often tab from one link to the next or review a list of available links on a page.

Thus, for a series of related links, include introductory information in the first link, then distinguishing information in the links that follow. This will provide context information for users reading them in sequence.

2)How can we improve on existing websites?

1. Use intuitive navigation - Confusing navigation layouts will result in viewers quitting a page rather than trying to figure it out.

2. The majority of visits for most sites begin on a page that is not your home page, therefore, you need to design the site in such a way that whatever page a visitor lands on, key information is there.
3. When in doubt, use fewer colors. It
