[Accessibility] Missing "skip to content" link #999

Describe the bug
The header lacks a 'skip to content' link, so users have to tab through the navigation each time they land on a page before they can access the main content.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. On the home, slides, and info pages, press tab on your keyboard once you land on each of the page.
  2. You'd notice that each time, you will need to tab though all the links in the nav bar before you can access the main content of the page. There's no "skip to content" link.

Expected behavior
Users should be able to quickly skip past the navigation links in the header by using a 'skip to content' link, allowing them to directly access the main content of the page without needing to navigate through the entire header.

Screenshots
no skip to content

Hi @nwanduka @birm,

I’ve created a pull request that adds a "Skip to Content" link to the Home, Slides, and Info pages to improve accessibility. When the Tab key is pressed, this link becomes the first focusable element, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and directly access the main content. This enhancement improves the experience for keyboard and screen reader users.

Could you please review the PR and share any feedback or required changes? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
