Thus far you have a good effort. I would add at an early point the
command:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=]
or similar. Most documents like books etc. are printed double sided.
And page numbering is generally handled in the header. It is not
obvious to newbies that double sided format is set up by a page
numbering command.
