Problems with page titles about forms-prototypes HOT 2 CLOSED

Good point on the error states, hadn't thought of that!

You're right in saying that it should generally match the H1, but it's not a requirement - we can and should change it if we find that's going to be confusing. But that's probably not necessary at this point because using the site name as you've suggested seems like a good way of disambiguating the pages.

If we find that's not enough when testing, there's scope to develop it a bit afterwards - e.g. we could use [page H1] - GOV.UK Forms Editor, [page H1] - GOV.UK Forms Preview.

from forms-prototypes.

Page titles should be the same as the H1 of the page.

I've done this on the odd page in the prototype - I think the ideal should be:

[page H1] - GOV.UK Forms if inside the creation/editing pages (within our service)

[page H1] - GOV.UK if outside the creation/editing pages (for example if previewing/testing a page as the end user would see)

... potentially include something at the start "Preview: " for example, although this might be useless information to almost all users (and would be super annoying for screen reader users, so probably a terrible idea. Also, would have massive impact on error state pages "Error: Preview: [page H1] - GOV.UK" ... ouch!)

@hannahkc and @deberny what do you think?
