Doorway with no steps suitable for newcomers (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entry-level

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'steps suitable for newcomers' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'doorway with no' is the wordplay.
'doorway' becomes 'entry' (synonyms).
'with no' becomes 'level' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'entry'+'level'='ENTRY-LEVEL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entry-level that I've seen before include "Simple enough for a beginner" , "Suitable for beginners" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
