Use One Page Heading - Squarespace

Use One Page Heading in Squarespace

1. Open your Squarespace site and navigate to the page you want to review, then click Edit to activate inline editing.
2. Scroll to the main page title—the text that represents the primary topic of the page.
3. Click the title to open the text editor, then click the Format (¶) menu.
4. Set the main title to Heading 1 (H1). This should be the only H1 on the page.
5. Click other headings or large text blocks on the page that visually appear as section titles.
6. Open the Format menu for each and verify their heading levels:
   • Change any additional H1 headings to H2 or H3 based on hierarchy.
   • Ensure no more than one H1 is present.
7. If a heading-like text block has no semantic tag:
   • Select the text → open Format.
   • Assign the correct heading level (H2–H6) according to its role in the page structure.
8. Check each page section to ensure the heading structure follows a logical order:
   • H1 for page title,
   • H2 for major sections,
   • H3–H4 for subsections.
9. Open Mobile preview and confirm heading tags remain correct even if the visual size changes.
10. Click Preview and scan the page to ensure the visual hierarchy matches the semantic heading structure you defined.
11. Save and publish your changes, then use your browser’s accessibility inspector to confirm that only a single H1 appears on the live page and that headings follow a clean hierarchy.
