SECTION V. Web Publications Conventions
P. Use of “under construction” links
STANDARD:
Institutional Web sites should not use links to “under construction” pages. If a page is under construction, this fact should be plainly displayed on the referring page so that users don’t attempt to go to the page at all, or the reference should just be removed completely from the referring page to avoid any confusion.
Explanation:
Users with slow connections will waste time waiting for a page to load and then find that there is nothing there.
