Titles and headings help organize content and make it easier to navigate. They give structure to emails, documents and web pages, helping people quickly find information and understand how content is organized. For people using assistive technologies such as screen readers, titles and headings provide important navigation cues that make content more accessible.

Learn how titles and headings can help you create more accessible digital content: What are Titles and Headings? 

Creating clear titles and using headings correctly is one of the simplest ways to improve accessibility. It also makes content easier for everyone to read, scan and understand. Every improvement helps create a more accessible and inclusive digital environment for our students, faculty, staff and community members.

Why does this matter?

Creating accessible digital content supports UW–Madison’s efforts to meet federal digital accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and create a more accessible, inclusive university community.
