7.3.1. Update the page <title> when a page returns an error or a confirmation message
Each time that a form returns an error or a confirmation message, the page <title> tag must be updated.
For example, in the case of success:
<title>Confirmation – Contact form | [Name of website]</title>

In some circumstances, it is not necessary to update the page title because the title displayed after submitting the form makes the result of the action obvious. For example:

- A “Go to the next step” button which sends the user to the next step in a form with multiple steps.
- A contact form that sends the user to a preview page.
- Etc.
