If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a `Skip to main content` link [before the navigation](http://a11yproject.com/posts/skip-nav-links/). Using the `.sr-only` class will visually hide the skip link, and the `.sr-only-focusable` class will ensure that the link becomes visible once focused (for sighted keyboard users).

{% highlight html %}
<body>
<a href="#content" class="sr-only sr-only-focusable">Skip to main content</a>
<div class="container" id="content">
The main page content.
</div>
</body>
{% endhighlight %}
### Nested headings
When nesting headings (`<h1>` - `<h6>`), your primary document header should be an `<h1>`. Subsequent headings should make logical use of `<h2>` - `<h6>` such that screen readers can construct a table of contents for your pages.
