 **As a** user, **I want** my dashboard settings and scenarios to live inside a shareable hashed workspace URL **so that** I can return on a new device or share the exact workspace with someone else.
 
 **Acceptance Criteria:**
-- First visit with no known workspace creates a new workspace id (UUID/hash-like token) and redirects to `/{workspace_id}`
-- App stores the workspace id in a browser cookie for return visits
+- First visit with no known workspace shows a welcome/bootstrap page at `/`
+- Welcome page contains a short description and a clear call to action such as `Get started`
+- Clicking `Get started` creates a new workspace id (UUID/hash-like token), stores it in a browser cookie, and redirects to `/{workspace_id}`
+- Returning visitors with a valid workspace cookie who visit `/` are redirected to their existing workspace
 - Visiting an existing `/{workspace_id}` loads that workspace without requiring the cookie
 - Workspace URL is copyable/shareable and restores the same settings on another device/browser
 - Settings persistence is scoped by workspace id rather than one global local file
-- Existing pages (`/settings`, `/overview`, `/hedge`, `/backtests`, `/event-comparison`) read/write the active workspace state
+- Existing pages (`/{workspace_id}`, `/{workspace_id}/settings`, `/{workspace_id}/overview`, `/{workspace_id}/hedge`, `/{workspace_id}/backtests`, `/{workspace_id}/event-comparison`) read/write the active workspace state
 - Invalid or unknown workspace ids show a clear recovery path instead of a server error
 - Browser test verifies:
-  - first visit creates/redirects to a workspace route
-  - cookie-backed revisit returns to the same workspace
+  - first visit shows the welcome page
+  - clicking `Get started` creates/redirects to a workspace route
+  - cookie-backed revisit to `/` returns to the same workspace
   - visiting the same workspace URL in a fresh context restores the same settings
 
 **Technical Notes:**
 - Introduce a workspace model/repository keyed by generated id
 - Prefer server-side persistence keyed by workspace id; cookie stores only the id, not the full state
 - Keep workspace ids opaque and non-sequential
-- Consider root route `/` as a bootstrap that resolves/creates the active workspace and redirects to `/{workspace_id}` plus nested page routes as needed
+- Treat `/` as a dedicated bootstrap/welcome route rather than making every page handle bootstrap behavior
+- Workspace pages can remain focused on workspace-aware rendering only; bootstrap logic stays isolated at `/`
 - Ensure routing design stays compatible with existing NiceGUI pages before implementation
