Texte traduit: Why Use Headings?

Texte traduit: The headings you choose to add to your website are significant as both readers and search engines use them to determine what the page is about. This helps to break up the content for users to decide whether or not the section contains the information they need; the heading also works to inform search engines about the page’s content. There are 6 heading types: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 & H6.

Elementor Widget Edit Options
Texte traduit: 3 areas to edit your chosen Element

Texte traduit: The Heading Editor Tabs

Texte traduit: There are 3 consistent tabs for every widget in Elementor; these consist of “Content,” “Style” and “Advanced.”  These tabs’ contents remain the same through most widgets, with some variations in the options available depending on the widget being edited.

Texte traduit: Content Tab

Texte traduit: One thing you will probably want to do is add your text to the header.  You can do this by going to the left-hand menu and making sure you are on the “Content” tab.  From here, add your text into the box much as you would with a standard word processor on your computer and any text added here will appear on the page. 

Texte traduit: In the heading content tab, there are several options available.

  • Texte traduit: TitleTexte traduit:  – You can add your own custom text into the box much like you would with a standard word processor.
  • Texte traduit: Dynamic HeaderTexte traduit:  – The small cylindrical icon will allow you to create a dynamic heading that will change depending on a range of defined variables.
  • Texte traduit: LinkTexte traduit:  – This will allow you to add a hyperlink to the heading if you need it to redirect the user somewhere upon a click.  It can also be configured to download something, open a popup, open a lightbox, open a video, or a whole range of other things. You also have dynamic options for the link.
Content Tab
Texte traduit: Content tab is useful and easy to understand
  • Texte traduit: SizeTexte traduit:  – You can select your header’s size here from a selection ranging from Small to XXL.  If you select a font size in the style tab, it will overwrite the size given here.
  • Texte traduit: HTML TagTexte traduit:  – This is an important one to get right; your page should give the most important heading on the page a H1 tag and the others H2 and down as the importance reduces.  Whilst you should only have one H1 header, you can have as many H2, H3, etc. as needed.
  • Texte traduit: AlignmentTexte traduit:  – You can set how your title will be positioned.  You can sometimes find the alignment under Style (for example, when editing text).  You can adjust further in the Advanced tab using the padding and margins.
Style Tab
Texte traduit: The Style tab is important to add color, font size and any typographic edits

Texte traduit: Style Tab

Texte traduit: There are useful options here that can help maintain the header’s look and feel in line with your site.

  • Texte traduit: Text ColorTexte traduit:  – As you’d imagine, from here you can change the text’s color. If nothing is selected, it will take the color from the Texte traduit: Global ColorsTexte traduit: ; if set here it will override the Texte traduit: Global colorsTexte traduit: .  You can reset the color by clicking the arrow going in a circle when choosing a color.
  • Texte traduit: TypographyTexte traduit:  – Takes care of everything from the font family, weight, transform, decoration, line height, and line spacing.
  • Texte traduit: Text ShadowTexte traduit:  – You can add a shadow to the text to help it stand out or do as you need.
  • Texte traduit: Blend ModeTexte traduit:  – There are 13 different modes available to try out and each has a different effect on the header and how it interacts with the background.
