1. Images as Links
Mylissa Hoover

2. The What
• An image as a link is basically what it sounds like
• It is a clickable image on a website that has a link to another webpage
• Images can be linked to any url or an enlarged version of the image

3. The Why
• Using an image as a link is a popular way to create concise site content
• It holds the attention of the user
• Having an image makes a user more likely to click on the link
• Linking an image is a useful way to make a clean looking web page that still has
plenty of information for the user
• More content can be stored on one page without cluttering the layout

4. The How
Code them together
Find your link
Find your image
• Creating an image that is also a link is
fairly simple.
• You need the image source, as well as
the link.
• In HTML5 you place the image source
within the link tags.

5. The Code
• You first create your link tags and the place the image source within them, like so:
<a href=“www.byui.edu”>
<img
src=http://www2.byui.edu/imageLibrary/HomePage/060720CampusAerial_6209.jpg>
</a>
