Must haves
- Each page title is descriptive and unique.
- For example: “Login” and “Profile” are NOT descriptive enough when someone has 20 tabs open. Try “Login | Stanford Admissions”.
- Having “Stanford Admissions” as the title for every page on the Admissions site is also NOT descriptive. Update titles to reference the unique page purpose.
- Put unique information at the start of the title, i.e., “Login | Stanford Admissions” and “Profile | Stanford Admissions”.

This would only be appropriate on the home page for the school. On any other page it is not descriptive enough. |
