Best practices

Accessibility

  • Heading tags communicate the structure of the page to screen readers and other assistive technologies. Nest heading tags in order. For example, <h4> should not follow <h2>.
  • Wide blocks of text are difficult to read and make it harder for people to focus. Limit line lengths to 70 characters or around 16 words.
