As we serve our community online, it's important to make our content accessible and welcoming. Use clear, descriptive link text that guides visitors to the right resources. Regularly check your links to ensure they continue to point to helpful, faith-building content. Consider your visitors' needs when deciding whether links should open in new tabs, particularly for Scripture references or supplemental resources. Most importantly, ensure your linked content supports your ministry's mission to glorify God!
