Legal pages that remain readable (general guidance only)
Short answer: Legal-style pages still benefit from clear headings, summaries, and plain language where accuracy allows—walls of impenetrable text help nobody comply.
This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Readable structure
- Table of contents with anchor links on long pages.
- Definitions section for capitalised terms.
- Contact block for privacy or legal enquiries.
Accuracy over SEO tricks
Do not stuff keywords into terms pages; prioritise truthful alignment with actual practices.
Review cadence
Revisit when offerings, data flows, or regulations affecting you change.
