Page Title

The Page Title component adds a top-level headline (text in <h1> tags) to a page (like the large “Page Title above). For accessibility and search engine optimization, or SEO, reasons, content authors should only use one H1 headline per web page. If a page already has one in another component, like a Hero Banner, adding a Page Title is not needed. The Page Title component uses the text from the page’s Title field. 

Instructions for Use

Add a Page Title to a Page

In Page Builder:

  1. Open a page with no existing H1 headline.
  2. Click the “+” button in the main body or right-side column Placeholder box.
  3. Select the Page Title component from the list.

Alternate method:

  1. Open page with no existing H1 headline.
  2. Click the Components tab at top of the left pane.
  3. Locate the Page Title component.
  4. Drag the Page Title component to placeholder in the right-side column.
