"A lot of people (myself included) will hover over a link and see what the bottom of our browser screen says before we click on it, especially the contact link since some people think it’s a bright idea to link this directly to your email address, causing an email program to open up. This is not a good UX practice. Create a contact page, put your email address on it and also add a contact form – your user will thank you – and will actually email you more often."
