Specify a Title and Description for Each Web Page

Guideline

Every page should have a meaningful title and description.

The title is specified using the title element and the description is specified using the description meta element in the head of the web page.

For example:

<head>
  <title>Page Title</title>
  <meta name="description" content="This is the page description">
  …
</head>

WCAG Reference

For more information, refer to H25: Providing a title using the title element (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/H25.html).

ePortal Recommendations

Generated web applications use the Title and Description properties from the root of the client message as the page title and description; therefore, you should set the Title and Description properties for each client message to meaningful values.

Refer to Creating and Modifying Client Messages for more information.
