In fact, you can even use unique typography to give your brand a boost. As long as it is legible on all devices. But how do you make sure your headings grab that all important attention? Well, here are our top tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>use colour effectively<\/li>\n<li>get the size right<\/li>\n<li>use texture to make a 3D effect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Use colour effectively for website headings<\/h3>\n<p>If one thing can grab attention, it&#8217;s colour. And using a colour that stands out from the rest of the page is a good way to instantly draw your users eye towards the heading. However, you should be careful not to aim for &#8220;shocking colours&#8221; or to choose colours that contrast sharply with the rest of the page. These colours can in fact be more of a distraction, or a way to deter potentially interested users.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, you should choose a colour palette that compliments the rest of the website, while also being different enough that the colour change is striking and noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>You can also decide to choose a colour background for your text. Which means that your text itself could be simply black, which does provide the most amount of contrast. While the background can be a bright bold colour to draw attention to the words inside.<\/p>\n<h3>Get the size right for website headings<\/h3>\n<p>For your &lt;h1&gt; heading, the size of the font should be large. And this should be positioned above anything else, to show that this is the most important piece of text on the webpage. If you get the size right, as well as the colour, the website users will not be able to miss your message.<\/p>\n<h3>Texture and 3D effects for website headings<\/h3>\n<p>In addition, you can use texture to help create a 3D effect. This can help the words in your heading really stand out from the page. The texture can be applied to a background element, with the typography overlaid on top. Or the entire element can be designed at once, with texture used across both the background, and the font. Either way, the effect can be incredible.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or advice, get in touch with the professionals today, here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pumpkinwebdesign.com\/website-designers-manchester\/\">Pumpkin Web Design Manchester.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website headings are important visual design features that inform users about the content they can find in each section.
