 # RetroWave Studio 2010
 
-Eine bewusst nostalgische Website im Stil klassischer 2010er-Webseiten.
+RetroWave Studio 2010 is a deliberately nostalgic website that recreates the look and feel of a classic 2010-era web presence.
 
-## Starten
+It uses Vite for the build pipeline and keeps the visual language on purpose: glossy panels, blue gradients, sidebar widgets, and a centered portal-style layout.
 
-Einfach `npm run dev` starten.
+## Development
 
-Für den Produktionsbuild:
+Install dependencies first:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+Start the local dev server:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Create a production build:
 
 ```bash
 npm run build
 ```
 
-Die HTML-Ausgabe wird dabei über `html-minifier-terser` zusätzlich minimiert.
+Preview the production build locally:
 
-## Enthalten
+```bash
+npm run preview
+```
 
-- `index.html`
-- `vite.config.js`
-- `src/main.js`
-- `src/styles.css`
+## Build Details
 
-## Stilrichtung
+The production build runs HTML minification through `html-minifier-terser` via the Vite config.
 
-Glossy Panels, blaue Verläufe, Seitenleisten und ein zentriertes Portal-Layout.
+## Project Structure
+
+- `index.html` - Vite entry document
+- `vite.config.js` - Vite configuration and HTML minification hook
+- `src/main.js` - application bootstrap
+- `src/styles.css` - all page styling
+
+## Design Direction
+
+- Glossy UI panels
+- Blue gradient navigation and buttons
+- Sidebar-style information boxes
+- A fixed-width, portal-like composition
+
+The result is intentionally not modern-minimal. It is meant to feel like a polished website from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
