A kicker above every heading
- Forbidden
- A small uppercase, letter-spaced line over each section heading: "FEATURES" over "What you get", "HOW IT WORKS" over "Three steps to launch"
- Instead
- One heading that says it. If the kicker repeats the heading, delete it; if it adds something, work those words into the heading or the line under it.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
A kicker is one more line to read before the one that matters, and on every section it stops marking anything. It survives from print, where a section label helped a reader flip to a page. On a screen the heading is already the label.
