+## 🚀 Project Structure
+
+Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
+
+```
+/
+├── demo/
+│   ├── public/
+│   └── src/
+│       └── pages/
+│           └── index.astro
+└── packages/
+    └── my-component/
+        ├── index.js
+        └── package.json
+```
+
+This project uses **workspaces** to develop a single package, `@example/my-component`, from `packages/my-component`. It also includes a `demo` Astro site for testing and demonstrating the component.
+
+
+
+## 🧞 Commands
+
+All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
+
+| Command           | Action                                       |
+|:----------------  |:-------------------------------------------- |
+| `npm install`     | Installs dependencies                        |
+| `npm run dev`     | Starts local dev server at `localhost:3000`  |
+| `npm run build`   | Build your production site to `./dist/`      |
+| `npm run preview` | Preview your build locally, before deploying |

+# Example `@example/my-component`
+
+This is an example package, exported as `@example/my-component`. It consists of two Astro components, **Button** and **Heading**.
+
+### Button
+
+The **Button** component generates a `<button>` with a default **type** of **button**.
+
+```astro
+---
+import * as Component from '@example/my-component'
+---
+<Component.Button>Plain Button</Component.Button>
+```
+
+```html
+<!-- generated html -->
+<button type="button">Plain Button</button>
+```
+
+### Heading
+
+The **Heading** component generates an `<h>` tag with a default **role** of **heading** and a **level** attribute that gets written to **aria-level**.
+
+```astro
+---
+import * as Component from '@example/my-component'
+---
+<Component.Heading>Heading</Component.Heading>
+<Component.Heading level="2">Subheading</Component.Heading>
+```
+
+```html
+<!-- generated html -->
+<h role="heading" aria-level="1">Plain Button</h>
+<h role="heading" aria-level="2">Subheading</h>
