No skip-to-content link for keyboard navigation

A skip link is a hidden link that appears when a keyboard user starts tabbing through a page, allowing them to jump straight to the main content and bypass the navigation menu. This site has none. Keyboard users — including people who cannot use a mouse and screen-reader users — must tab through every single navigation item on every page before reaching the actual content. This is a barrier covered by WCAG accessibility standard 2.4.1 and required under several jurisdictions' accessibility laws. Add a visually hidden "Skip to main content" link as the very first element in your HTML that becomes visible when focused. Your developer can add this in under 15 minutes and it costs nothing.
