Provide Page Titles
Put
a descriptive and different title on each page. "Titles"
are used by search engines to identify pages when users search.
Without titles, a page cannot be found. Additionally, if two or more
pages have the same title, they cannot be differentiated by users or
the "Favorites" capability of a browser.
Use
Well-Designed Headings
Use
many, carefully selected headings, with names that conceptually
relate to the information or functions they describe. Headings
provide strong cues that orient viewers and inform them about a
page's organization and structure. Headings also help classify
information on a page. Well-designed headings are an important tool
for helping users scan text. Write headings and page titles that
clearly explain what the page is about and that will make sense when
read out-of context. Headings are often removed from the context of
the full page and used in tables of content and search engine
results. This means that the headings should clearly tell users what
is at the other end of the link.
