Titles and Headings

Titles and headings play an important visual role in page design because they forecast and introduce the subjects that follow. Effective titles and headings become increasingly important as the size and complexity of your document grows, particularly since a good title or heading lets readers know what to expect without having to read the entire document or section. Similarly, effective titles and headings are important when you have multiple or diverse readers. Titles and headings let readers know if the information in the document or section applies to them. They also allow readers to easily find, reread, or refer to specific sections in the document.
