Write a title people understand

Make your 60 characters identify the thing, not merely sound exciting.

The title is the first piece of your publication most people will read, and it must fit within 60 characters. Start with a plain description of what you made. A name alone may be memorable to you but meaningless to a new visitor, so pair it with a useful explanation when space allows.

For example, “Northstar” gives no clue what opens after the click. “Northstar — a map of accessible cafés” says more. If the project is a newsletter, name the subject and the cadence; if it is a service, name the result or the audience. Save qualifications, background and a second detail for the 280-character message.

Before saving, read the title without its image or logo. Could a stranger tell what kind of page this is? Remove words such as “innovative” and “ultimate” if they are taking room from concrete information. The aim is not a perfect slogan. It is an accurate promise that the destination can keep.
