Link List

Content

Section Title (max. 50 characters)

  • A heading that describes and contextualizes the link list.
  • Avoid simply referring to these links as “Resources.” This term is generally too vague to be useful.
    • Example: Instead of “Resources” (vague) use “Academic Programs” or even “Student Organizations” (more specific).

Links (min. 3 links, max. 9 links)

  • Make sure the link text clearly describes the content it links to.
  • Front load link text so that most information-carrying words come first
    • Example: Instead of “Office of the University Registrar” try “Registrar” or “University Registrar”.
  • Keep your link text short.

How to use

  • Use this component on front and landing pages when you need to highlight links to related content.
  • Organize links from left to right alphabetically or most to least important.

Things to avoid

  • Avoid using this component more than once on a single page.
  • Avoid referring to these links as only resources. Try to provide a more specific description of them that indicates how or why someone would use them.
