+## What is Astro?
+
+**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!
+
+## Project Status
+
+⚠️ **Astro is still an early beta, missing features and bugs are to be expected!** If you can stomach it, then Astro-built sites are production ready and several production websites built with Astro already exist in the wild. We will update this note once we get closer to a stable, v1.0 release.
+
+## 🔧 Quick Start
+
+> **Important**: Astro is built with [ESM modules](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html) which are not supported in older version of Node.js. The minimum supported version is **14.16.1**.
+
+```bash
+# create your project
+mkdir new-project-directory
+cd new-project-directory
+npm init astro
+
+# install your dependencies
+npm install
+
+# start the dev server and open your browser
+npm run dev
+```
+
+### 🚀 Build & Deployment
+
+The default Astro project has the following `scripts` in the `/package.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "start": "astro dev",
+    "dev": "astro dev",
+    "build": "astro build",
+    "preview": "astro preview"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For local development, run:
+
+```
+npm run dev
+```
+
+To build for production, run the following command:
+
+```
+npm run build
+```
+
+To deploy your Astro site to production, upload the contents of `/dist` to your favorite static site host.
