What do you mean by widget? Are you talking about something like a comment section or a section where you can like or post a link to the article on social media?

Subject: [WebAIM] Headings hierarchy

Let say H1 is the title of article, h2 is used in article, and then h1 is
the widget. My blind testers say that this is not good practice. Widget
should use H3 without any parent. Like this:
h1- title of main content
h2- subtitles of main content
h3- title of widget.


I would rather leave widgets without heading and put into
role="complementary". But blind people say this is not good for them. What
dou you think?
Do you have any best practice for that?
