Best Practices
Follow these best practices on your Texas A&M website to craft better user experiences, regardless of whether or not you are using Aggie UX.
We discourage the use of website elements that change displayed content without user interaction, such as auto-advancing sliders, carousels, rotating banners, and auto-rotating galleries. These features often create accessibility and user experience issues.
Image size often impacts the page load time more than all other factors combined and page load time directly impacts mobile performance and search rankings. Optimizing images means saving them in a way that reduces file size while maintaining visual quality.
When creating links on a website, you can choose to have them open in the same window or a new window. In most cases, you should set links to open in the same window to avoid usability issues.
