Naming a webpage: the h1 heading
Advisory
The information on this page is only applicable if you're editing the University webpages using T4. It presumes that you have already completed the beginners and advanced level of the T4 training (a link for staff only - opens in new window).
What is the h1 heading?
The h1 heading is the title displayed at the top of the main body of text on your webpage.
For example, the h1 heading of this page is 'Naming a webpage: the h1 heading'.
It is not 'Web Accessibility Training' (the text in block capitals above it), which is the name of this subsite.
All of our T4 webpages must have an h1 heading template added to them when they are constructed.
Technical terms
H1 heading
This kind of formatting is called the h1 heading because it uses h1 tags in the underlying code, that wrap around your page title like this: <h1>Naming a webpage: the h1 heading</h1> – but you don't need to worry about writing any code; the T4 templates will do that automatically.
Subsite
A subsite is a small website contained within a larger website.
