Hey, Jo.

In my opinion, if you have an established hierarchy then the semantics should support it.

Hello Chris,

Yes, they are. At first I thought they should be h3 thent thought that h2 would be okay. The “children” sections are going to be accordion style if that makes any difference.

Many thanks!

Jo

With limited context it looks to me that Shops on Main Street, Farmers Markets and Other Shops are children of Explore Shopping.

Hello everyone,

I’m writing to check/confirm that it is ok to stack H2 headers. I am interested in your feedback and clarifications!

The section of content is this:

<h2>Explore Shopping</h2>
<h2>Shops on Main Street</h2>
<p>content</p>
<h2>Farmers Markets</h2>
<p>content</p>
<h2>Other Shops</h2>
<p>content</p>

I believe this structure is ok, but I would feel better about it if I had confirmation.

I look forward to hearing back and thank you for your advice!!

Jo
