Adding a heading

The Heading element adds a title to a page. Use it to introduce a section and give the page a clear structure. Headings also tell search engines and screen readers how your page is organised.

Add the element

1. Open the page in the page builder.
2. In the toolbox on the far left, click Elements.
3. Click the Basic group, or type heading in Search elements....
4. Drag Heading onto the canvas and drop it where you want it.
5. Click the heading on the canvas. Its settings open on the right, headed Editing Heading.
6. Under Heading Text, type your heading.

Content settings

Content

• Heading Text: the words shown. It starts as Your Heading.
• HTML Tag: H1 to H6. H1 is the main heading of the page, so use it once. H2 and H3 are for sections and sub-sections. Your theme sets the size for each level, so the tag also changes how the heading looks.

Link

• Link: click Click to set link. The Edit Heading Link window opens. Enter the address and choose whether it opens in a new tab.
• No Follow: tells search engines not to follow the link.
• Link Title: a short description of the link for accessibility.

Design settings

• Typography: font, size, weight and spacing. Global keeps the heading tied to your theme's style for its tag. Customize breaks that link and styles this one heading on its own.
• Opacity: Text Opacity from 0 to 100 per cent.
• Hover Effect: an Effect, such as an underline, plus a Hover Colour and a Duration.
• Accent bar: Show accent bar adds a short coloured line beside the heading. Set its Colour, Width, Thickness and Gap from heading.

For the Design and Advance tabs in full, see Using the element settings panel.

Tip: Keep Global on unless one heading really needs its own look. Then a change to your theme's typography updates every heading at once.
