It’s both explicit for sighted reader and screen readers too.
Yes there’s some duplicated words. But the point of that paragraph isn’t to be artistic, it’s to be informative. You can save the creative word play for your regular paragraphs.
- LocalPCGuy 1y agoI would even say you could go with if duplicated words is an issue: You can [get the Amaya Browser] from the download page
- hnlmorg 1y agoNice refinement there.
- bArray 1y agoI still think that the missing context is an issue. Imagine the page is some 10k words, by the time you get to the bottom, you might not remember what "Amaya" is. So just saying "Amaya's download page" tells the user that it is a download, but nothing about what it is a download for. I wonder how successful the screen reader experience is for using the web. Without checking URLs, how can they be sure for example they don't enter this credit card details on http://bank.xyz/scam_page http://bank.xyz/scam_page , rather than https://bank.com https://bank.com ? Or how do they know whether the download page automatically downloads the file whilst they are on it? I can only imagine that using the web is extremely difficult.
- hnlmorg 1y agoYeah, context matters. If it’s a Amaya product page then the context is already there. But if it’s a large article that meanders across a few topics, then your approach would be better. Though in that scenario I think you’re better still by directing people to a product page instead of a download page.
