Direct non development users to cp demo, basic tutorials or get job quotes

[youliaaa]

As per discord discussion suggest to put a few simple pointers for non developers on a how to get started or installation page.

Inform non developer users that this platform is probably not for them (despite the Wordpress comparison it really isn't a Wordpress alternative for the general public), in which case perhaps provide a directory of developers they can contact? could be your discord job channel?

Or for the beginner developer/slash hobby coder perhaps a page of links or tips of things they need to learn? (antler, how to set up a local environment (please only one detailed option),

In any case I would love to see a live demo CP environment for non development decision makers which are often the key decision makers in the CMS solution (business owners, marketing heads, Digital Directors and content editors). Given all the promises of artisan simplicity not having access to an easy demo of your CP is sort of making a bad first impression and make non developers feel unwelcome which I don't think is the intention.

Everyone keeps saying that clients love the interface. And it is awesome and simple. Show it off, and then connect them with developers to get them going quickly.

Here's some draft copy for you... hope that helps :)

Interested in Statamic but not a developer?

Brilliant! Thanks for considering us - you're making a great choice. You'll be getting a much easier to use, faster, more scalable and better CMS than Wordpress. But we also have to be honest. While using Statamic is so much easier, faster and better than Wordpress, to get it set up and going you will need some coding skills.

Unlike Wordpress we don't build one click bloated slow and insecure websites with lots of bells and whistles that you don't need. In fact a large portion of our community are ex-Wordpress converts who never look back.

Instead we are focussed on creating lean and extremely user-friendly environments.

You're probably burning to try it out, so here's a link to a live demo of our control panel that you can take for a spin and see for yourself.

Or maybe you're ready to go and start your own project? Join our discord channel here and post your job in our #jobs channel. Our super friendly community of developers will be happy to help you out and give you a quote. Here's a free briefing template to get you going to make sure you and your development team are on the same page.

And if you're a starting out developer who knows a little bit about CSS and HTML and happy to learn some new skills here's a page with some resources and tutorials (link to page with must know tutorials for installing commander, valet, antlers and tailwind) we think will be helpful if you want to give Statamic a go.

Thanks for this! Our redesign covers the spirit of this in a number of ways :)
