Headings can be used by assistive technology and search engines if they are correctly made in the background code. Since headings are usually have a different appearance to other text content, they can help people browse the page and understand the content, because it is visually divided into easy-to-see sections.
Headings must be made with the heading tag; h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. Each heading should have a proper heirarchy, with headings at a higher number identifying sub-sections.
In the UWCMS
Start your headings at h3 and below when you are making a page, because h1 is already used as the site title, and h2 is the page title.
Headings should be descriptive. This means putting the most important information at the beginning of the heading.
Organise the information in a page using headings. If you do this, people using screen readers can browse the page as a list of headings, so they can get an idea of the content without having to listen to the whole page. They can also move from one heading to another, so headings should identify each block of content.
