Structure

  • Page structure should be logical and consistent with other pages on the website. For example, don’t disable the left hand navigation and then use a portlet to rebuild it on the right.
  • When using a keyboard to navigate a page, the order must be logical.
  • Only use bullet points for lists, not to draw attention to one sentence or link.
  • Do not use negative space to create space between paragraphs. Instead use headings to break the content into short, manageable and easy-to-read sections. The paragraph and heading functionality has accessibility compliant space built-in.

Page Titles

  • Page titles must be unique to the site and indicate the purpose of the page.
  • Page titles should be in either Sentance Case or Capital Case and the chosen format should be used consistently throughout. All caps should not be used.

Headings

  • Use headings and sub-headings to break page content into short manageable sections.
  • Headings should be hierarchical.
  • Headings must be informative and meaningful.
  • Headings should be in either Sentance Case or Capital Case and the chosen format should be used consistently throughout. All caps should not be used.
  • Don’t use headings for items that aren’t headings, e.g. to draw attention to a line of text.
  • Don’t use bold as a substitute for a heading.
