>                 Key: GEODE-53
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-53
>             Project: Geode
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: content
>            Reporter: William Markito Oliveira
>            Assignee: Gregory Chase

> There are some pages in the website that may need attention and updates. 
> Here is a list of the main pages and initial ideas that can improve and fix it:
> Getting Started:
> - How to section is not well formatted and need a better organization.
> - Learn the Basics (Videos)
>   - Not sure it should be listed here and given that it's all GemFire it's a bit confusing still. 
> - Download Geode link should be removed from this page since it's already in the top.
> - Understand some examples section should also go somewhere
> - Documentation should be a direct link from the main menu and not the last thing of this page. 
> Community
> - Conferences need to be updated ad need to work on some automation here to simplify things.
> - Systems (JIRA, Wiki) and mailing lists links should be more accessible and  just listed - not in the middle of text or phrases. Also they should be moved to the Contribute (or How to Contribute) page.
> - Don't know why Project History is here, we should move this to a main "About" page.
> Contribute 
> - This page starts with text about GemFire/Geode history - Which IHMO should also be moved to the "About" page or something like that. As well as the incubator proposal link, etc.
> - The contribute page should probably only have sections about: What can be contributions and how to do them - Code, documentation, bugs,  answers on StackOverflow, etc. 
> Download
> Since we don't have releases yet, as per ASF policy we can point them to the GitHub repo and I'd say we should probably copy the very basics steps to build the project here so people can start, with a pointer for the Wiki for detailed instructions.  Something like:  git clone, build, gfsh..
> - Documentation section on this page should be moved to it's own page.
> - Remove the Coming Soon section about the VM and include a pointer to the Docker image on Docker Hub.
