Description

The layout and design of the new-project-created page from #7098 does not look polished and feels empty/jarring.

Let's revisit this, and provide the user with a little more information in addition to the existing link to the project.

Research direction

Start with the new-project-created page introduced by #7098 and review its current layout, existing project link, and surrounding UI patterns. Refine the page so it feels more polished, add the proposed .gitpod.yml and prebuilds information with the documentation link, and verify the resulting page content and presentation.
