Re: Visible Skip Nav Link

Elle,

Mass.Gov used the visible "skip to main" link on our recent design refresh. The business case was that it was useful for touch device users, and that there was no harm in including for any form factor. The longer story is that we analyzed a gazillion sites, came to a consensus on the requirements, and gave them to the designer, along with all of our other requirements. The designer included it into the design, and we received no complaints about it ("clutter" or otherwise) from the other stakeholders.

Hawaii also has a visible one: http://portal.ehawaii.gov/index.html as does https://www.disability.gov/
