  "Guidelines for Visualizing Links"--Textual links should be colored and underlined to achieve the best perceived affordance of clickability, though there are a few exceptions to these guidelines.

  Textual links should be colored and underlined to achieve the best perceived affordance of clickability, though there are a few exceptions to these guidelines.

  usability link web design hyperlink

  • color and underline the link text
  • wo main cases in which you can safely eliminate underlines
  • avigation menus and other lists of links
  • Users typically understand a left-hand navigation rail with a list of links on a colored background
  • Don't underline any text that's not a link, even if your links aren't underlined. Reserve underlining for links.
  • Use different colors for visited and unvisited links.
  • The color for unvisited links should be more vivid, bright, and saturated than the color for visited links, which should look "used" (dull and washed out).
  • You should generally avoid color for text unless it's a link.
  • Don't use blue for non-link text, even if you don't use blue as your link color. Blue is still the color with the strongest perceived affordance of clickability.
  • Don't place links so close together that users with reduced motor skills will have difficulty selecting them.
