<h1 class="govuk-heading-l">Welcome</h1>
<p class="govuk-body">
This is a prototype tool that demonstrates how a web application could be used by users
to build an ESDA submission in a number of steps and via web forms.
</p>
<p class="govuk-body">
The advantages of this approach are:
</p>
<ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
<li>
Each entry is provided with it's own form. This give a place where text can be added
to described to the user what information is required for each entry.
</li>
<li>
Validation can be applied for each entry. This give immediate (on submission) feedback
on any problems with the input. That feedback will be specific to the current entry
so will be easier to understand.
</li>
<li>
Tools such as selection lists and check boxes can be used to ensure users are only
provided with compatible options.
</li>
<li>
The tool is hosted on a single web host. That means version control is easier.
When the central host app is updated, the update applies to all users.
</li>
<li>
Submission are stored in a central database so can be shared as needed, or passed
to additional services (the data marketplace for example) as required.
</li>
</ul>

<p class="govuk-body">
You can find existing examples a the <%= govuk_link_to 'Items page', items_path %>,
or <%= govuk_link_to 'click here', new_item_path %> to build a new ESDA.
</p>
