+## General Guidance on Deployment
+
+This app works fine under common static web hosting choices. Here's a general outline of the steps you can follow:
+
+1. Set up your CI/CD pipeline to use Node.js and arn images. (If you prefer not to use a CI/CD pipeline, make sure you have both Node.js and Yarn installed on your machine.)
+
+2. Start by installing the project dependencies. Run the command `yarn install` to ensure that all the necessary npm packages are installed and ready for the build process. To optimize costs and improve the efficiency of your CI/CD pipeline, you can consider adding a cache for the `node_modules` directory. Check your specific CI/CD tool's documentation for cache configuration options.
+
+3. Next, you'll need to build the project. Use the command `yarn build` to initiate the build process. This command will compile and bundle the source code, generating the assets required for hosting.
+
+4. Once the build process is complete, you'll need to copy all the generated assets located under the `/dist` directory. The specific command to accomplish this may vary depending on the CI/CD tool and OS you're using. Typically, you'll need to include a step in your pipeline that copies the contents of the `/dist` directory to a storage accessible by your chosen static web hosting service.
