I am having an issue and I can't seem to see the whole picture
objectively.
Thanks to your influences, it has become my second nature to have
'skip to content' in every site I do (sites I have control over the
design and layout); when I do markup coding, clients often ignore the
'skip to content' and 'skip to nav' - I managed to convinced them a
couple times with a compromise to hide it from browsers by using
'display:none', because, according to them, only screen users need
'skip to content'.
I am doing a site that I have control on design and layout, client
asked to remove the 'skip to content' when I showed him the first
layout, I tried to talk him out by stating how important it is to
have the 'skip to content' implemented. He didn't buy it, so I came
out with this technique:
teesworks.com/ (move your mouse to the top to see the result).
Haven't show it to client yet. Been working on this site in the last
2 days, I find that I am getting so annoyed by the "surprise'
everytime the hover pops up. There is no way to miss it everytime I
move the cursor to the top.
If I, the site builder, find it annoying, what will the users find ?
I am beginning to think this is causing a usability issue and is
killing all other usable elements that I work so hard to try to get
them right.
Please give me your thought.
Many thanks!
