Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users navigating with keyboards currently have to tab through all header navigation elements before reaching the main content area. This creates a poor experience for keyboard-only and screen reader users.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a "Skip to main content" link that:

  • Appears as the first focusable element on the page
  • Is visually hidden by default but becomes visible when focused
  • Jumps focus directly to the main content area when activated
  • Follows WCAG 2.1 Level A accessibility guidelines

Acceptance Criteria

  • Skip link is the first tabbable element on every page
  • Link is visible when focused via keyboard
  • Clicking/activating the link moves focus to main content
  • Works correctly with screen readers
