Overview

Consistent and clear hierarchy helps people who navigate the page using links or headers. Use headings and titles to outline the page so people can see the structure and how sections relate to each other.

1. Be predictable with structure and use patterns and layouts familiar to people.
2. Content should be visible, so avoid putting important information inside accordions.

List by level of importance

Place items on the page in order of their level of importance so people don't have to search for them.

Have a consistent hierarchy

Create and maintain a consistent hierarchy so that people can use alternative input methods to move through the page. Headings are in order without skipping levels.

Group similar items

Group items under titles or headings that clearly communicate the content of the group.
