Expose one clear main content region

What to change

Ask the supplier to identify the page's principal content clearly and keep repeated site furniture outside that region.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A visitor choosing Main reaches the service's heading and information, while the global menu and footer remain separately navigable areas.

How to check the result

Accept when region navigation provides a stable route into the current page's principal content across supported templates and interface states.

A mistake to avoid

Adding region labels to every small component can make the navigation list longer without making the important destinations easier to identify.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.

Decisions to recordUse a screen reader's region list on the homepage and a service page. Determine whether the main content destination is obvious and singular for each page.Navigate directly to that region. Check where reading begins and whether it includes the page's own heading rather than starting halfway through a card.Open an overlay or embedded application and repeat. Ask the supplier to explain how temporary interface states affect the available regions.
