 Getting Started
 ===============
 
-This page details how to get started with SolvationAnalysis. 
+Solvation analysis makes it easy to rapidly analyze coordination, species-species pairing,
+and speciation. While solvation analysis is designed with molecular (and especially ionic)
+systems in mind, it's methods should be extensible to any system where a solute is
+dissolved in solvents.
+
+Get started with solvation_analysis by working through the basics_tutorial.ipynb
+Jupyter notebook which can be found in the tutorials section of the
+`GitHub <https://github.com/MDAnalysis/solvation-analysis>`_. The tutorial
+introduces the basic functionality and usage of the solvation_analysis package.

 Welcome to SolvationAnalysis's documentation!
 =========================================================
 
+Solvation analysis implements a `robust, cohesive, and fast set of methods
+<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6227159028334592>`_ for
+analyzing the solvation structure of a liquid. It seamlessly integrates with
+`MDAnalysis <https://www.mdanalysis.org/>`_, making use of the core AtomGroup
+and Universe data structures to parse solvation information. If you are interested
+in understanding the solvation structure of a liquid, this package is for you!
+
+To get started, check out the Getting Started section of the documentation.
