 # Workwise
 
-Workwise is a full-stack project using Django (backend) and React (frontend) with Docker for containerization.
+Workwise is a full-stack productivity platform built with a Django REST backend and a React front-end. The project is containerised with Docker so you can run the entire stack locally with a single command or work on each service independently.
 
 ## Tech Stack
-- Backend: Python 3.12, Django 4.2.9, DRF
-- Frontend: React 18, Node 20
-- Database: PostgreSQL 16
-- Containerization: Docker & Docker Compose
+- **Backend:** Python 3.12, Django 5, Django REST Framework, Gunicorn
+- **Frontend:** React 18 with Create React App
+- **Database:** PostgreSQL 16
+- **Containerisation:** Docker & Docker Compose
 
-## Local Setup
+## Local Development
 
-### Backend
+### Backend (Django)
 ```bash
 cd backend/django_app
 python -m venv venv
 source venv/bin/activate
 pip install -r requirements.txt
 python manage.py migrate
 python manage.py runserver
+```
+The backend is available at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) and exposes a project summary at `/`.
+
+### Frontend (React)
+```bash
+cd frontend/react_app
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+The React development server runs at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and proxies API calls to the backend when configured.
+
+### Docker (Full stack)
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
+```
+This command starts the backend, frontend, and PostgreSQL database together.
+
+## Environment Variables
+Create `.env.dev` and `.env.prod` files at the repository root when using Docker. They should include values similar to the following:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `POSTGRES_DB` | Database name for PostgreSQL |
+| `POSTGRES_USER` | Username for PostgreSQL |
+| `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` | Password for PostgreSQL |
+| `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY` | Secret key for Django production deployments |
+
+## Project Structure

+├── backend/         # Django project
+├── frontend/        # React application
+├── docker-compose.* # Docker compose files for dev/prod
+└── README.md

+
+## Testing
+- Backend: `cd backend/django_app && python manage.py test`
+- Frontend: `cd frontend/react_app && npm test`

-# Getting Started with Create React App
+# Workwise Frontend
 
-This project was bootstrapped with [Create React App](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app).
+This React application provides the Workwise web experience. It surfaces the platform overview, feature highlights, and quick-start instructions for running the full stack locally.
 
 ## Available Scripts
 
-In the project directory, you can run:
+Inside `frontend/react_app` you can run:
 
-### `npm start`
+- `npm start` – starts the development server on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
+- `npm test` – runs the component tests with Jest and React Testing Library.
+- `npm run build` – bundles the app for production deployment.
 
-Runs the app in the development mode.\
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view it in your browser.
+## Connecting to the Backend
+The landing page links to the Django API, which exposes a JSON project summary at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000). Update the URLs in `src/App.js` if your backend runs elsewhere.
 
-The page will reload when you make changes.\
-You may also see any lint errors in the console.
+## Styling
+Component styles live in `src/App.css`. The current design focuses on a clean marketing-style layout that introduces the Workwise feature set.
 
-### `npm test`
-
-Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.\
-See the section about [running tests](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/running-tests) for more information.
-
-### `npm run build`
-
-Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.\
-It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
-
-The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.\
-Your app is ready to be deployed!
-
-See the section about [deployment](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/deployment) for more information.
-
-### `npm run eject`
-
-**Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you `eject`, you can't go back!**
-
-If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can `eject` at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
-
-Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except `eject` will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.
-
-You don't have to ever use `eject`. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.
