titular funcional


Explanation:
Realmente no estoy muy seguro de que haya una traducción para ese término, pero te podría funcionar así.

Example sentence(s):
  • f I'm writing ad or promotional copy, I'll usually write a headline (or at least a working headline) first since it will determine the direction of the body copy.
  • Try starting with a working headline and base your text around that

título provisorio


Explanation:
Según la RAE usar el término "provisorio" en este caso es incorrecto (viene de 'proveer'), mientras que "provisional" es definido como "que se hace, se halla o se tiene temporalmente", y sería el adecuado.

Sin embargo, si la traducción es solo para la Argentina, tené en cuenta que usamos más a menudo "provisorio" que "provisional" como opuestos a "permanente", es decir cuando nos referimos a algo que solo dura un tiempo: "desvio provisorio", "arreglo provisorio", "carnet provisorio".

En cuanto a si corresponde 'título' o 'titular', siempre hablando de Argentina, he trabajado como diseñador gráfico en editoriales y medios gráficos, y si bien en el día a día se usan ambos, se habla de "los titulares" como generalidad, pero para cada nota puntual es más común escuchar "el título":

"José es el encargado de aprobar los titulares" - "No se me ocurre nada para el título de la nota".

Reference information:
To begin writing your website article, first think of a working headline. I call it a "working" headline because for now it's more like a line explaining what the article will be about. You can finesse it with clever wordplay later on if you like.

A good example of a working headline might be:

"5 Kitchen Knives to Own if You're an Aspiring Home Chef"

Example sentence(s):
