Definition: An image or portion of text that is highlighted in some way (usually underlined on the web) and connects the current document to another. Hyperlinks are what make plain text into hypertext. Links are an important part of web pages. They connect documents on the same site together using internal links and direct readers to more information using external links. Web designers should create linking strategies for their websites to make sure that they are linking to the best information for their customers. You should also regularly use a link checker to make sure that all the links on your site still work.
