Create outline

[philhawksworth]

This issue is to track the creation of a suitable outline for the first version of this workshop.

The activities outlined should:

• Progress through a logical order, taking the user through a journey from first Netlify contact through to advanced operations
• Require as few prerequisites as possible for maximum user
• Be small and focussed enough to be consumable and convey a discrete action-oriented purpose
• Include a define-able start and end state
• Allow both a pre-recorded and an interactive demonstrations

Proposed outline

All of these tasks will be covered by progressing through a single site project. Will will evolve this site and its capabilities as we advance through the examples.

Q: Should each section have a fresh boilerplate starting point in a fresh branch so that people can easily jump into a good code state and keep progressin?

Q: Could we have branches containing the same examples build with different technologies so that people can step through example that they are mostly familiar with? (Examples in Hugo, Gatsby, Jekyll, VueJS)
