+<h1 class="title">Congratulations, your <a class="alert-link" href="http://luminusweb.net">Luminus</a> site is ready!</h1>
+
+This page will help guide you through the first steps of building your site.
+
+<p class="title is-5">Why are you seeing this page?</p>
+
+The `home-routes` handler in the `nicktodo.routes.home` namespace
+defines the route that invokes the `home-page` function whenever an HTTP
+request is made to the `/` URI using the `GET` method.
+
+```
+(defn home-routes []
+ [""
+ {:middleware [middleware/wrap-csrf
+ middleware/wrap-formats]}
+ ["/" {:get home-page}]
+ ["/about" {:get about-page}]])
+```
+
+The `home-page` function will in turn call the `nicktodo.layout/render` function
+to render the HTML content:
+
+```
+(defn home-page [request]
+ (layout/render
+ request
+ "home.html" {:docs (-> "docs/docs.md" io/resource slurp)}))
+```
+
+The `render` function will render the `home.html` template found in the `resources/html`
+folder using a parameter map containing the `:docs` key. This key points to the
+contents of the `resources/docs/docs.md` file containing these instructions.
+
+The HTML templates are written using [Selmer](https://github.com/yogthos/Selmer) templating engine.
+
+```
+<div class="content">
+ {{docs|markdown}}
+</div>
+```

+
+<p class="title is-5">Organizing the routes</p>
+
+The routes are aggregated and wrapped with middleware in the `nicktodo.handler` namespace:
+
+```
+(mount/defstate app-routes
+ :start
+ (ring/ring-handler
+ (ring/router
+ [(home-routes)])
+ (ring/routes
+ (ring/create-resource-handler
+ {:path "/"})
+ (wrap-content-type
+ (wrap-webjars (constantly nil)))
+ (ring/create-default-handler
+ {:not-found
+ (constantly (error-page {:status 404, :title "404 - Page not found"}))
+ :method-not-allowed
+ (constantly (error-page {:status 405, :title "405 - Not allowed"}))
+ :not-acceptable
+ (constantly (error-page {:status 406, :title "406 - Not acceptable"}))}))))
+```
+
+The `app` definition groups all the routes in the application into a single handler.
+A default route group is added to handle the `404` case.

+
+The `home-routes` are wrapped with two middleware functions. The first enables CSRF protection.
+The second takes care of serializing and deserializing various encoding formats, such as JSON.
+
+<p class="title is-5">Managing your middleware</p>
+
+Request middleware functions are located under the `nicktodo.middleware` namespace.
+
+This namespace is reserved for any custom middleware for the application. Some default middleware is
+already defined here. The middleware is assembled in the `wrap-base` function.
+
+Middleware used for development is placed in the `nicktodo.dev-middleware` namespace found in
+the `env/dev/clj/` source path.
