HTML Markup Details

title element

The title element in the head element should contain both the title for the website and sub-page information.

The title element is typically rendered in the title bar at the top of the graphical window of most graphical browsers like Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla and Firefox.

Users of speech technologies like screen readers (e.g. Jaws, Window-Eyes, and HAL) can easily read the title content.

h1 element

The h1 element includes sub-section information and may contain website information.

The h1 element is easy for users to navigate to with assistive technologies (Window-Eyes, Jaws and HAL screen readers) as well as the keyboard in some browsers (e.g. Opera or Firefox Accessibility Extension).
