A page needs a readable game map

A level-selection screen shows the main mission, routes and smaller challenges at a glance. Page structure should do the same. Give the page one clear primary H1, divide major ideas with descriptive H2 headings and use H3 headings only for subsections within them.

Wall of text versus mapped page

Confusing route

A wall with no landmarks

Our plant guide covers light and watering and pots and pests and feeding and several other things that might help, followed by more dense detail with no visible route to the answer...

Text equivalent: one long block hides the main answer and gives the reader no section labels.

Clear route

Care for a snake plant

  • Direct answer near the start
  • Light and position
  • Watering steps
  • Common problems

Text equivalent: a primary topic leads to labelled sections, short paragraphs and a useful list.

A practical page outline

  1. 1

    H1: Repair a dripping tap

  2. 2

    Opening: tools and first safe step

  3. 3

    H2: Identify the tap type

  4. 4

    H2: Replace the washer

  5. 5

    H3: Test for leaks

  6. 6

    H2: When to call a plumber

Answer the main question early. Then make detail easy to scan with short paragraphs, lists, cards or a visual summary—whichever genuinely fits the information.

Common structural mistakes

A vague directory

Headings such as “More” and “Other” reveal nothing about the section.

Skipped logic

An H3 appears as a major section without a parent H2.

Styling disguised as structure

A heading element is chosen only to make ordinary copy large.

The answer maze

A long introduction postpones the information the visitor came to find.
