Unusable Page Titles

Why does every single page on the GoCanvas website need to be named "GoCanvas: Mobile Business Apps and Form on Android, iPad, iPhone"? It makes using browser tabs next to useless. I can understand it being used for the main landing page for the website for SEO reasons, but it shouldn't be the same for every single page, especially after a customer is logged into the site. There are breadcrumbs at the top of most pages, why not title the pages something similar as well?

For example:

  • On the Apps page, the title should be something like "GoCanvas: Apps".
  • On the Submissions page, the title should be something like "GoCanvas: Submissions".
  • When inside a folder on the Submissions or Apps page, the title should be something like "GoCanvas: Submissions - FOLDER_NAME" or "GoCanvas: Apps - FOLDER_NAME".
  • When on specific app's page, it should be titled "GoCanvas: APP_NAME".
  • When in the App Builder, it should be titled "GoCanvas: App Builder - APP_NAME"
  • When looking at the submissions for a particular app, it should be titled "GoCanvas: Submissions - APP_NAME" or "GoCanvas: APP_NAME - Submissions".

When looking at this screenshot, you can't tell me that the page titles are of any use:

If your site was a single page website, I could see it being more difficult, but it's not, so you should title each page appropriately.

  • Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your feedback. I completely agree that this is disorienting and will pass this along to our Marketing Team.

  • Thanks, I see that action was taken and some of the pages have been properly titled. Can you make this change for the App Builder as well?

    Instead of "GoCanvas: Mobile Business Apps and Forms on Android, iPad, iPhone", can you title it "App Builder: APP_NAME | GoCanvas"?
