Headings

A logical heading structure greatly enhances the accessibility of a web page. They are used for page navigation and orientation. Each page should generally have one first-level heading (<h1>). While it is usually most logical to have the <h1> present the site name for the home page, for content pages the <h1> should typically contain the document title or main heading for that page. Heading levels should not be skipped, though it’s acceptable to have lower level headings (such an <h2>’s) precede the <h1>, if the page structure requires it.
