Summary

Addresses #966

The current Get Started page lists navigation links but doesn't guide new developers on what to do first, what tools they need, or why they should choose each section.

Changes

  • Added a 'New to Base? Start here' intro section explaining what Base is in plain terms
  • Added a Prerequisites section listing required tools (Node.js, wallet, testnet ETH)
  • Added a Recommended workflow with a clear 4-step path for new developers

Before / After

Before: Page jumped straight into use-case links with no context for beginners.

After: New developers have a clear starting point, know what to install, and understand the recommended path before diving into specific sections.

Testing

No code changes — documentation only. Verified markdown renders correctly.
