Use links in body copy

Links are for usage in body copy and are not appropriate in titles. Consider using a different component if you're looking for a larger or more prominent call to action, such as a button.

Support screen readers

Be mindful of link placement and language, and create experiences that are inclusive of users navigating with screen readers. Screen readers pull a list of links — only the link text, and not including other surrounding language — to determine the content of the page.

People using screen readers may tab between links without getting the text in between, so very generic link wording like "learn more" or "click here" doesn't communicate any context from elsewhere in the experience. Identify the target of each link directly in the link text to communicate context and set clear expectations about where the link will go.

Quiet links are less accessible, so don't use them for links that are critical to an experience. Quiet links are commonly used in website footers, where there are several lists of links that are shortcuts to other pages.
