Make links and buttons easy to recognize, operable by keyboard, and understandable from their accessible names. Use clear, visible labels; show a noticeable keyboard-focus indicator; and make link purpose clear either from the link text itself or from nearby, programmatically associated context.
How do I make links and buttons accessible?
Accessibility depends on more than whether a control can be clicked. A person needs to recognize it as interactive, reach it with their input method, see when it has keyboard focus, and understand its purpose through its label and context.
- Make controls identifiable: Give links and buttons distinct, consistent visual styles so people can tell them apart from surrounding content.
- Show interaction states: Provide perceivable changes for hover, keyboard focus, and touch or click activation. Do not rely on color alone to communicate that an element is interactive or focused.
- Support keyboard use: Ensure interactive elements can be reached using the keyboard and that the currently focused element is clearly visible. A border or highlight that moves as users press Tab is one example.
- Provide an accessible name: Each focusable interactive element needs a name that communicates its purpose and distinguishes it from other controls. Assistive technology typically announces the name and role, and may announce the state.
W3C WAI recommends distinct, consistent styles for links and buttons and clear interaction states. Its design guidance also stresses visible keyboard focus. These are practical design recommendations; the exact appearance can vary as long as the controls and focus state remain perceivable.
Should links and buttons look different?
Yes: make both recognizable and consistent, while preserving the visual distinction your interface uses to communicate their roles. Do not make people guess whether an item is interactive based on color alone. Use a combination of styling cues, such as underlining link text or giving buttons a clear shape, and keep those cues consistent across the site.

Provide visible states for pointer interaction and keyboard focus. A hover effect is not a substitute for a focus indicator: keyboard users need to see which control currently has focus, including when they navigate without a mouse. Check that focus styling is not removed or obscured and remains visible against the surrounding page.
How do I write accessible link text?
Write link text that tells people what the link leads to. Descriptive labels are particularly useful when someone encounters links outside their surrounding paragraph, such as in a screen reader’s links list.

WCAG 2.4.4, Link Purpose (In Context), allows a link’s purpose to be clear from its text alone or from its text together with programmatically determined context. Relevant context may be in the same sentence, paragraph, list item, or table cell, or associated through ARIA. It should be available without requiring users to move focus away from the link; putting context before the link is often easier to use. See W3C’s understanding of Link Purpose (In Context).
WCAG 2.4.9, Link Purpose (Link Only), is a stricter Level AAA criterion: link purpose should be identifiable from the link text alone, except where the purpose would be ambiguous to users in general. It is useful to aim for standalone clarity, but do not confuse this AAA criterion with the in-context requirement in 2.4.4. W3C explains the distinction in its understanding of Link Purpose (Link Only).

When should I use aria-label for a link?
Use aria-label only when a link lacks visible descriptive text that can name it. The attribute supplies an accessible name, but it overrides the link’s visible text in that name. If a visible label is present, prefer aria-labelledby to reference that text rather than replacing it with a separate label.
If you do use aria-label on a link with visible text, start the label with the same words as the visible label. This helps keep the spoken name aligned with what sighted users see and supports WCAG 2.5.3, Label in Name. For example, if the visible text is “Account settings,” an accessible name such as “Account settings for the current profile” retains the visible words at the start; a label that omits them may create a mismatch.

What should I check before publishing?
- Can users tell which text or controls are interactive without relying on color alone?
- Can every interactive element be reached and operated using the keyboard?
- Is the keyboard focus indicator clearly visible as users move through the page?
- Does each link make sense on its own where possible, and is any necessary context directly associated and programmatically available?
- Does each focusable control have an accessible name that communicates its purpose?
- Where visible text already names a link, does its accessible name preserve that label rather than replacing it with unrelated wording?
