Formatting and text styles

All text should be written in Paragraph, which is the default setting. It is possible to make writing bigger or smaller using the Headings, although this should only be used to divide pages into sections. 

For reference, gpsurgery.net uses ‘Heading 1’ as the default for page titles. We would recommend using Heading 2 for your headings and Heading 3 for any sub-sections.

Visitors using assistive technology, such as screen readers to read out page text, will be able to skip from section to section if you use headings. Making text bold does not make it a heading. Using Headings correctly will also ensure your website pages are visually consistent. 

You can use the Bold and Italic options to emphasise text, although we recommend using this sparingly to maximise their impact.
