[Problem] It's difficult for the user to get started with Ondsel/FreeCAD

[sliptonic]

We need a 'getting started' page.

The page should be linked prominently from the front page of the site.

The page should be styled like the rest of the site. (Dark, grid back ground)

The content should answer the following questions in the user's mind:

1. What does a working system look like:

• a web page? An installed application? An app on my phone?

2. What does Ondsel need from me?

• create an account? Pay money?

3. What are the next steps I need to take?

• click on a link? Install software?

4. How do I get help?

• learn about the software? - help with my account?

It might help to have a paragraph of a straightforward explanation of what ondsel is. I can help write copy if you give me what you think a good introductory paragraph might be to describe what it is/what we're doing.

So, what is it? :) (ELI5)

Ondsel is an engineering design suite. Based on FreeCAD, it includes a 3D parametric modeler and capability for many specific engineering and manufacturing tasks such as assembly, Computer-Aided Machinging (CAM), Finite Element Analysis (FEM), and Technical drawing. Ondsel also includes web-based file-sharing and collaboration tool which connects to our "lens" website. With this, you can share your designs with non-Ondsel users.
