Bypass blocks for a small website

Hi Everyone,

We are working on a small website having 5 main pages. When a user is on
any page on the website the focus is managed to take him/her directly to
the main section of the page.

If the user moves to the top of the webpage, he/she will need to go through
7 tab strokes (2 in header & 5 in navigation bar) to reach the main
section.

In such a case does it become mandatory to provide a bypass mechanism to
the main content? How will it change if the on page load user is at the top
of the page and not in the main content?

Thanks,
Vaibhav
