Use a hierarchical structure for headings on web pages, with a single <h1> for the main title and <h2> through <h6> for sub-sections without skipping levels (e.g., don't go from an <h2> to an <h4>). Headings should be concise, descriptive, and used for semantic structure, not just for styling text, to improve accessibility and SEO.
General rules
Use only one <h1> per page: This should be the main title that describes the overall content of the page.
Maintain a logical hierarchy: Use <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, etc., to organize sections in a logical order, like a table of contents.
Do not skip levels: If you have an <h2>, the next level of subsections should be <h3>, not <h4>.
Use headings for meaning, not just appearance: Headings convey semantic information. Do not use them just to make text larger or bolder.
Avoid linking headings: Make sure headings are not links themselves. If a heading needs to link to another page, the link should be in the text that follows the heading.
Content and style
Be descriptive: Headings should accurately describe the content that follows them.
Keep it concise: Use simple, clear language and aim for short headings, preferably a few words to a single sentence.
Avoid punctuation: Do not use punctuation like periods, commas, or semicolons in headings.
Include keywords: Use important keywords in your headings to help with readability and search engine optimization.
ADA-compliant fonts must be sans-serif, non-italic, and easily readable for signage and digital content. Key requirements include a 10–15% stroke-width-to-height ratio, high contrast, and no decorative or script styles. Top recommended fonts include Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Montserrat, and Franklin Gothic.
