IHS.gov Page Titles Standard

Standard:

All IHS.gov websites will have <title> code which accurately reflects what site the users is on as well as what page of that site is being shown.

Requirements:

  • Titles will not have IHS or Indian Health Service in them.

Example:

Additionally, using this format ensures that search engines identify these pages with both the page topic and name. This also helps clearly identifying bookmarked websites because of each webpages unique name that is saved.
