Totally agree Dave. It's much more intuitive to have a link that just says where you're going. (The word "Link" says it all).

Hi all, We have all become accustomed to poor design with regard to the inaccessibility of websites, but you would think by now that those specifically for visually impaired people would have some idea of good and bad practice. I have had cause to use Cobolt systems website of late and, although it is not at all difficult to find your way around, it has one very basic and, to me, infuriating problem. all the links say "click to online shop" or "click to news page". firstly, most of us do not mouse click at all, but, much more importantly, if all links say click to, which is totally unnecessary, this means you cannot look for the online shop by searching for links beginning with the letter o. I intend to write to Cobolt and see what they have to say, but I do wonder if this annoys others or should we just make the best of the situation? To my mind, this could be put right fairly easily, and I can't believe that no one has yet pointed it out to Cobolt. any comments?
