In a Best Practices doc, I want to emphasize that a certain component of the Web page display should not be too far below the fold, not be in a tabbed part of the display, not be in in the general navigation area, etc...

In short, the concept I want is, âmake sure that you make this big enough and in a visible enough area that people donât overlook it!â But Iâd like a less wordy word :-).

But the thesaurus and antonym list is failing me. The related words Iâve found (along the lines of: reveal, display, show, highlight, divulge, reveal, flaunt, expose) donât get at the main point Iâm trying to make, which is simply, âmake it easy for people to find.â

If the audience were UX designers, Iâd go with the concept of affordance, but that wonât work because the audience is a general one.

Any ideas?

TIA,
-Monique
