-**Astro** is a next-generation static-site generator with partial hydration. Use your favorite JS framework and ship bare-minimum JS (or none at all!).
+**Astro** is a _fresh but familiar_ approach to building websites. Astro combines decades of proven performance best practices with the DX improvements of the component-oriented era.
+
+With Astro, you can use your favorite JavaScript framework and automatically ship the bare-minimum amount of JavaScript—by default, it's none at all!
 
 ## 🔧 Setup
 
 ```bash
-# currently hidden during private beta, please don't share :)
-npm install astro@shhhhh
+# currently "hidden" during private beta
+npm init astro@shhhhh ./my-astro-project
 
-# NOTE: There is currently a bug in Snowpack that prevents you
-# from using astro outside of the monorepo setup that we have here.
-# For now, do all development inside the `examples/` directory for this repo.
+# then... cd => install => start
+cd ./my-astro-project
+npm install
+npm start
 ```
 
-## 🧞 Development
+### 🚀 Build & Deployment
 
-Add a `dev` npm script to your `/package.json` file:
+The default Astro project has the following `scripts` in the `/package.json` file:
 
 ```json
 {
  "scripts": {
- "dev": "astro dev ."
+ "start": "astro dev .",
+ "build": "astro build ."
  }
 }
 ```
 
-Then run:
+For local development, run:
 
 ```
-npm run dev
+npm run start
 ```
 
-### ⚙️ Configuration
+To build for production, run the following command:
 
-To configure Astro, add a `astro.config.mjs` file in the root of your project. All settings are optional. Here are the defaults:
-
-```js
-export default {
- /** Where to resolve all URLs relative to. Useful if you have a monorepo project. */
- projectRoot: '.',
- /** Path to Astro components, pages, and data */
- astroRoot: './src',
- /** When running `astro build`, path to final static output */
- dist: './dist',
- /** A folder of static files Astro will copy to the root. Useful for favicons, images, and other files that don’t need processing. */
- public: './public',
- /** Extension-specific handlings */
- extensions: {
- /** Set this to "preact" or "react" to determine what *.jsx files should load */
- '.jsx': 'react',
- },
- /** Options specific to `astro build` */
- buildOptions: {
- /** Your public domain, e.g.: https://my-site.dev/. Used to generate sitemaps and canonical URLs. */
- site: '',
- /** Generate sitemap (set to "false" to disable) */
- sitemap: true,
- },
- /** Options for the development server run with `astro dev`. */
- devOptions: {
- /** The port to run the dev server on. */
- port: 3000,
- },
-};
 ```
+npm run build
+```
+
+To deploy your Astro site to production, upload the contents of `/dist` to your favorite static site host.
