Dear members,
I would like to ask your opinion about the use of the "Skip to Main
Content" and "Skip to Sub Navigation" links.
We recently designed our second web site http://www.seoworkers.com and
as we did not want to have the links
visible, we have hidden them with CSS techniques.
My question though is, where would be better to have those links.
Before, or after the logo of the page?
Thank your very much in advance for your kind support.
Best wishes,
John
The first time I was really struck by this device was when I saw the new
WaSP website [http://webstandards.org/]. I think that method is very
good - you get to the page and immediately you get the opportunity to
head to what you want from it.
The only thing about your site is that your header contains an important
heading, which you may or may not deem crucial to their reading.
If you're thinking about this in the first place you may want to
consider the increasingly popular philosophy that navigation is 9 times
out of 10 the last thing someone wants to see first on any page (you
just used it to get here, it's only if you've made a mistake that you're
going to want to navigate away again immediately). If you subscribe to
this usability belief, you may consider sequencing your page
<header><content><navigation> and including a 'Skip to navigation' at
the end of the header.
Using a bit of clever CSS, this needn't affect the visual layout of the
page.
Regards,
Barney
