The Opquast Digital Quality Framework - Rule n° 138

Rule n° 138 - Links of the same nature have identical colors, shapes and behaviors on all pages.

As soon as they arrive on your website, whether through the home page or an internal page, Internet users will start to "learn" your interface. This rule is intended to accelerate their learning.
