Headings

Headings are important for accessibility because they help users navigate and understand content. They provide structure and hierarchy, making it easier for those using screen readers or other assistive technologies to find information. Headings also help sighted users quickly scan and locate content. By using descriptive and hierarchical headings, designers can make content accessible to a wider range of users and improve the user experience. Properly marked up headings also improve search engine optimisation.
