Bulleted lists
Use a bulleted list:
- to break up long chunks of text
- to make content easier to read
- for lists where the order of the items does not matter
Read more about bulleted lists in our style guide.
Numbered lists
Use a numbered list to show the steps in a process or the order of a series of events.
Example numbered list

- Enter your email address and password.
- Complete the application form.
- Make the payment.
- Submit your application.

Links
Use links to take people to pages they may need to visit next.
If you use a link, the link text must describe where the user will go or what will happen when they select the link. Do not use “click here” or “read more” as link text for this reason.

Headings
Use clear, concise headings to structure your page.
Use Heading 2 (H2) for subheadings. If you need to add sections under an H2 subheading, use Heading 3, and so on.

Document downloads
Insert a document that your users can download.
In many cases, web pages provide a better experience than documents. Only use a document download if you cannot offer the content on a web page.
You can also choose to upload your document as a protected document. Users will not see protected documents on the page unless they are signed into their University account.
