One Fix: Headings Are Not Just Big Bold Text

Megan found the perfect recipe online. Then she tried to find the ingredients list — inside one giant wall of text.

Big bold words are not headings. They just look like headings — to eyes. The computer can't tell them from any other text.

A real heading is a label the machine understands, marked in order, like chapters in a book.

Now watch: Screen readers announce each heading, so people can skim by section. Keyboard users jump straight to the part they need. Even your eyes land faster.

Megan found her ingredients in five seconds flat. One fix turned a wall into a map.

💡 The scenario I shared is a fictionalized composite informed by patterns I've seen firsthand. The people are fictional; the accessibility barriers are real.
