I would rename this section to "Backup your Bisq seed" since that's probably the key action point here

| <p>With Bisq, you're in total control of your funds and your data. This means you retain unparalleled sovereignty, but it also means no one can help you if you lose something important—so it's critical that you do proper backups before using Bisq to trade.</p> | ||
| <p>We've also prepared a short tour of the Bisq interface so you can make the most of it.</p> | ||
| <p>At the very least, please be 100% sure to <a href="https://bisq.wiki/Backing_up_your_wallet" target="_blank">write down your seed words</a> and <a href="https://bisq.wiki/Backing_up_a_data_directory" target="_blank">back up your data directory</a>.</p> |

"At the very least, please be 100% sure to backup .." => "Follow these simple steps (+link to wiki) to backup.."
The first version sounds like its kind of optional and we're kind of asking them to maybe consider doing it, at the very least maybe somehow think about it a bit.
Second version: hey go here and do it :) More imperative, people will see it as less optional, probably more will do it.

Functionality wise it looks all good. I tested all buttons. The one weird thing I found (but can be improved later) is that if you start a video, then switch the filter (from Windows to Mac) the video doesn't stop and you can potentially have more than one video playing on screen. Design/conversion wise I think we need to do two things:
Maybe even the same button we have in the home page. |

I haven't watched each of the videos in detail, but I just want say that I love how this new page strikes a balance between concision and completeness. It's visually attractive and and invitingly short at first glance, making me feel like I can get through it, and rather than having to slog through paragraphs of prose instruction (however well written), I get the context I need in a brief blurb, and can then follow along in the video, which, due to the nature of the medium, I'm confident by default that I'll be able to do. Nice! Related, this makes me think we should do away with the https://bisq.wiki/Get_started article altogether and link to this one as the canonical resource. |

Looks like this is good to go. Just need some wiki pages to be updated, but the wiki was down until about a day ago because of some significant spamming issues. I'll work on the new articles and then merge this when appropriate. Thanks everyone for the feedback! |
For now, this is a prototype to address #356 I'm putting out mainly to gather feedback.Please check it out at https://deploy-preview-367--bisq-website.netlify.com/getting-started and let me know what you think.
