Headings

Headings not only alter the style, look, and feel of the page, but they also work in giving direction or bearing for accessibility readers, directing them to the next or subsequent sections on a page. Using headings correctly is important to help insure your content meets accessiblity standards.

Headings should be applied in a Hierarchical order (similar to an outline)

Heading 2 <h2>

Heading 3 <h3>

Heading 4 <h4>

Heading 5 <h5>
Heading 6 <h6>

Paragraph

Heading 1<h1>

Important: Heading 1, or the <h1> tag, is reserved for the Stockton University logo at the top of the page. Do not use this headline within your page content.
