+# Contributing
+
+We welcome template contributions that help demonstrate the full-stack capabilities of the Workers platform. If you're unsure about whether a template would be a good fit for this repository, feel free to open an issue with a link or description of your template idea to get feedback before writing up a pull request.
+
+We're especially interested in templates that use multiple binding or handler types together, such as [D1 databases](https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/), [Workers AI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/), or [queue consumers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/configuration/configure-queues/#consumer), just to name a few.
+
+## CI Checks
+
+Code formatting, linting, and all other checks are covered under the `check:ci` script. The `fix:ci` script will automatically fix as many of these issues as possible. If CI is failing on your pull request, running `npm run fix:ci` in the repository root may be able to fix all of your problems.

-# 🚧 Work in Progress 🚧
+# Templates for Cloudflare Workers
 
-We're currently improving the Workers templates experience.
+Cloudflare Workers let you deploy serverless code instantly across the globe for exceptional performance, reliability, and scale. This repository contains a collection of starter templates for building full-stack applications on Workers. **You are encouraged to use, modify, and extend this code!**
+
+## Getting Started
+
+There are two ways to start building with a template in this repository: the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) and [C3](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/get-started/c3/) (the `create-cloudflare` CLI).
+
+### Starting from the Dashboard
+
+After logging in or signing up through the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/), open the [Workers templates page](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers-and-pages/templates) and select a template to get started with. From here, you can create a repository and deploy your first Worker without needing a local development environment.
+
+### Starting via CLI
+
+To get started locally, run one of the following commands:
+
+```bash
+npm create cloudflare@latest
+# or
+pnpm create cloudflare@latest
+# or
+yarn create cloudflare@latest
+```
+
+For more information on getting started with our CLI, check out the [getting started guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/get-started/guide/).
