Accessible Heading Structure

In one of my videos I changed the size of a heading by using a class rather than changing the element (h1). I also gave a very concise reason for doing so.

Since then, Rian Rietveld has written a comprehensive essay on the subject of headings. He also mentions the importance of web content accessibility. However, he did not tell us what happens if we ignore the guidelines as set out by WCAG.

In this era of inclusivity, leaving disabled persons out in the cold could become a litigious matter.
