Headers
The header tool is used for content formatting and correct usage is necessary for ADA compliance. Assistive technologies, such as screen readers, rely on the correct usage of headers to navigate the page, without having to read through all of the text to get to the desired section of information.
- Header 1 is automatically used for the title of your page.
- Header 2 will be the main block of content on your page, and from there, any following headers will be used in a hierarchical order to section content within header 2.
- Headers are never used for emphasis. Attention should be drawn to the appropriate text by using concise language and quality copy.
