LibGuides Best Practices: Best Practices for Pages

Best Practices

• Keep it short & sweet!
  • Use short, but descriptive, page titles. Use call to actions whenever applicable (ex. Find Books, Cite Sources)
  • If using the Tabbed Navigation layout, make sure your tabs fit on one line. 
  • Too much content on a page can cause users to skip over things.
  • Use subpages to help break up content.
• Avoid jargon when possible! (ex. Use "Magazines & Journals" instead of "Periodicals")  
• Use Friendly URLs - they make it easy for folks to remember how to get to the page!
