Notes

  • links within body copy should be blue and underlined
  • links without surrounding text should not have a full stop at the end
  • link colours can be found in the colour palette
  • avoid ‘external link’ icons as they’re not well recognised
  • first establish if there’s a genuine need to know that the link is to an external site
  • if there is, use language to make it clear that this is the case
