FAQ sections

Why

First-timers have the same handful of questions: do I need experience, is it free, how do I find the room. Answer them where people land. The FAQ block also gives AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews) clean question → answer text to quote.

Note: classic FAQ rich results are not a goal. Google restricts them to government and health sites, so don’t expect snippets. The value is on-page clarity and AI-friendliness.

Answer bodies are markdown. open renders an item expanded; open the most important one. Put a normal ## Common questions heading above the block: the FAQ doesn’t emit its own. It renders native <details>, so it’s accessible and works with zero JavaScript.

Writing good answers

• Ask questions the way people do: “Do I need a laptop?”, not “Equipment”.
• Answer in the first sentence, elaborate after.
• Keep answers self-contained, an AI agent will quote them without context.

A good starter set: what is this, who is it for, do I need experience, is it free, can I just watch, how do I find the room.
