[Sigia-l] Visual Balance vs. Left Leaning Layouts

[Dave Collins]

Side note:

>The most powerful is some accessibility
testing we are doing with visually impaired users. Their screen readers read
every single left nav option on every single page, forcing them to either
have the sophistication to set their reader so that it allows them to skip
this or to essentially "tab" past each option. This adds significant load to
their work.

A common way of dealing with this is by providing a 'skip nav' link in the
upper left. This may be what you are referring to re: "set their reader so
that it allows them to skip". I am not sure if this technique is a reader
setting or just a webpage design.
