How to make web pages accessible
Page title
A web page needs a good page title to tell the user what your content is about. This is not the same as adding a title to the page as web page text.
Titles should be:
- Descriptive
- Unique
- Clear - eg, not 'Accessibility' but 'How to create accessible content'
- Simple
Why web pages need a page title
A title is the first thing a screen reader will read to the user, so it needs to clearly describe what your page is about.
Search engines also use the title to understand your content. If it's relevant to what someone is searching for, it should appear in the search results. A user can then decide if it matches what they are looking for.
