I was browsing related issues for my question but I can’t seem to find the answer for it. Anyways, I want to know if I can still use the p or div tags instead of header tags when I have already used both (p and div tags) as plain text on my site. The reason is that I only want to have one header tag h1 present in my site. I tried to tweak some parts and got lost along the way. Sadly, after a couple of testing, it did not work… I was wondering if it’s possible or if there’s any other HTML tag that I can use other than header tag. Any response from you guys will be very much appreciated. =)

    You can make a <p> look however you like, for example:

    <p class="header">This is a header</p>

    with

    p.header { font-size: 200%; font-weight: bold; }

    but I would recommend against it. The reason is that HTML is (ostensibly) semantic so if you declare:

    <h3>This is a header</h3>

    you’re actually saying (semantically) that the given text is a heading of some sort. Remember you have <h1> through <h6> and you can pick and choose which of them you use. There is no need to use <h1> to use <h2> and so on.

    This is also useful for those visually impaired as something styled as a heading won’t be indicated as such to those using screen readers but a heading will be. You should cater for accessibility issues where possible.
