 ## Usage
 
 To get started, make sure you have [Docker installed](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/) on your system, and then clone this repository.
 
-First add your entire Laravel project to the `src` folder, then open a terminal and from this cloned respository's root run `docker-compose up -d --build`. Open up your browser of choice to [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) and you should see your Laravel app running as intended. **Your Laravel app needs to be in the src directory first before bringing the containers up, otherwise the artisan container will not build, as it's missing the appropriate file.** 
+Next, navigate in your terminal to the directory you cloned this, and spin up the containers for the web server by running `docker-compose up -d --build site`.
 
-**New:** Three new containers have been added that handle Composer, NPM, and Artisan commands without having to have these platforms installed on your local computer. Use the following command templates from your project root, modifiying them to fit your particular use case:
+After that completes, follow the steps from the [src/README.md](src/README.md) file to get your Laravel project added in (or create a new blank one).
 
-- `docker-compose run --rm composer update`
-- `docker-compose run --rm npm run dev`
-- `docker-compose run --rm artisan migrate` 
-
-Containers created and their ports (if used) are as follows:
+Bringing up the Docker Compose network with `site` instead of just using `up`, ensures that only our site's containers are brought up at the start, instead of all of the command containers as well. The following are built for our web server, with their exposed ports detailed:
 
 - **nginx** - `:8080`
 - **mysql** - `:3306`
 - **php** - `:9000`
-- **npm**
-- **composer**
-- **artisan**
+
+Three additional containers are included that handle Composer, NPM, and Artisan commands *without* having to have these platforms installed on your local computer. Use the following command examples from your project root, modifying them to fit your particular use case.

+- `docker-compose run --rm composer update`
+- `docker-compose run --rm npm run dev`
+- `docker-compose run --rm artisan migrate`

+To get started, delete this file and then do one of the following:
+
+- Clone your project or copy all of the files directly into this `src` directory.
+- Spin up the Docker network by following the instructions on the main [README.md](../README.md), and install a brand new Laravel project by running `docker-compose run --rm composer create-project laravel/laravel .` in your terminal.
