Creating Accessible URLs

Typed-out links are challenging to those using text-to-speech technology or screen readers (as users will hear every letter read aloud to them!). Instead, links should be short and descriptive. 

Please see this video tutorial (opens in a new window) for instructions on updating links to be more accessible.

Examples:

Do: Southwestern Community College
Avoid: http://www.southwesterncc.edu

Do: Google
Avoid: http://www.google.com
