Accessability ??

Hello

I’ve got some headings and text. The headings (HTML text) are links to other pages. They are underlined and have an arrow - to denote that they are links.

However, my client is asking me to write “click for more info” after each link, because she says that blind people using a screen reader need this to understand it is a link.

Surely this isn’t true?

Not true with any modern screen reader. The links are announced to the visitor as LINK: [title text], [URL].
