What is a website title?
Website title is the title that is given to each web page in the website. This appears on top of the browser window.


Why are titles used?
The title identifies a website.

Title Location:
Title is the first thing that is seen on top of any website browser. Title is also the first line of the HTML source code of your web page and it is inserted in between the tags. It is also one of the first things to load when you open a website.

In addition, the title appears when you bookmark a website on any browser. And the beginning part of it appears when the browser is minimised as in the Windows environment.

Title design Tip:
It probably makes good sense to have a title that tells something to properly identify the website.
And titles for the inside web pages can identify the different sections within the website.

Examples:
Title on home page: Dream Submit Home- add with a smile websites to major Search Engines
Title on inside page: Dream Submit Support- FAQs about our submission service with a smile
Redundant, but most commonly used title on home page: Welcome to Home Page (yes, it says it's the home page but reveals nothing about the contents of the website.)
