Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Explain the product and intended user near the top of the page.
- Place a working first step before optional advanced details.
- Link each support and documentation route to a useful action.
Tradeoff to consider
A repository README helps people understand and install an open-source project; commercial evaluation still needs a separate explanation of support and pricing.
Starting route
Start with the Links section, then follow the linked installation or documentation route.
