Headings

A heading is that big, bold text at the top of this page, and at the top of most web pages. It acts like a title, telling readers what they can expect.

 

The heading element is what you see on the right - it helps you create titles. Headings can be used in the middle of a web page, too, to separate sections from each other.

 

Why Use a Heading

Headings help to break up the content on your website into sections. They also act as visual cues for your readers, so they can easily find the content they're looking for on the page.

A Note on Using Headings

For the purpose of search engine optimization and basic clarity, it is important not to mix up Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3. Heading 1 is only for the very top of a page, and should never be used more than once on a single page. Heading 2 should be used as a sub-heading and may appear several times on a page. Heading 3 should be used to break up sections of content within a section already set apart by a Heading 1 or 2.

 

For Advanced Users

If you have a knowledge of HTML, you can use it with headings - just use a Text element and click on the HTML button. You can use standard <h1>, <h2> and <h3> tags, and even add anchors.
