Hi Sarah,
I duplicate my main menu in the footer for those interior pages that scroll
vertically more then
one-page down so the user doesn't have to scroll up to navigate.
I know this is a common practice, which of course an intra-page link such as
'back to top is
another viable option often

Hi Sarah,

Hi all,
I am interested to know what you think of duplicating navigation in the
footer of a page.
I have a client who has requested it, but I do not, as a rule, include
duplicate links - I seem to recall there were some accessibility issues
with duplicate navigation links for screen readers.
I think this practice is a remnant of pre-accessibility days where navigation options that were provided as images were duplicated as plain text links in the footer to aid people with images turned off etc.
With judicious use of alt tags I don't believe this is something that is still necessary.
