+Here’s a file structure for our GitHub repository, 
+this project is a static website using Tailwind CSS 
+and JavaScript. 
+
+This structure will allow for clean organization and 
+scalability as our project grows.

+
+Breakdown of Directories and Files:
+
+1. /kmhgllc-site/:
+This is the root directory of 
+our project.
+
+
+2. /assets/:
+Contains static assets like images, 
+fonts, or icons that are directly 
+used in the site.
+
+
+3. /dist/:
+Contains the compiled Tailwind CSS output 
+(after running the build process). It can include any other minified or production-ready files for the site.
+
+
+4. /src/:
+Contains the source files for Tailwind CSS (tailwind.css), 
+JavaScript (script.js), and other source assets like images 
+that you will process or optimize before deploying.
+
+
+5. /styles/:
+If you have custom styles that are not part of Tailwind (for example, custom utility classes or overrides), place them here.
+
+
+6. /components/:
+If you're using a component-based structure, this directory can store reusable parts of your site like the header, footer, or other widgets.
+
+
+7. index.html:
+This is the entry point of your site (home page). It links to the compiled Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, and any assets you use.
+
+
+8. .gitignore:
+This file ensures that files like node_modules, temporary files, and build output don't get committed to GitHub.
+
+
+9. package.json:
+If you are using npm for dependency management, this file contains the list of dependencies (including Tailwind, PostCSS, etc.) and scripts for building your site.
+
+
+10. postcss.config.js:
+Configures PostCSS (if using Tailwind CSS via PostCSS).
+
+
+11. tailwind.config.js:
+Tailwind CSS configuration file, where define are oue custom settings like colors, 
+breakpoints, and themes.
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+Sample .gitignore file
+
+Here’s a simple .gitignore file to avoid committing unnecessary files:
+
+# Node.js dependencies
+node_modules/
+
+# Build output
+/dist/
+
+# Tailwind CSS output
+*.css
+
+# OS generated files
+.DS_Store
+Thumbs.db
+
+# Logs
+npm-debug.log
+yarn-debug.log
+yarn-error.log
+
+# Optional: If using an IDE like VSCode, add this
+.vscode/
+
+

+
+Sample package.json
+
+If you are using npm and want to automate builds with Tailwind and PostCSS, 
+here's a sample package.json:
+
+{
+  "name": "kmhgllc-site",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "description": "Kumplex Media Holdings Group LLC Website",
+  "main": "index.html",
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "postcss src/tailwind.css -o dist/output.css",
+    "start": "live-server"
+  },
+  "dependencies": {
+    "tailwindcss": "^3.0.0",
+    "autoprefixer": "^10.0.0",
+    "postcss": "^8.0.0"
+  },
+  "devDependencies": {},
+  "author": "Derrick Adkison",
+  "license": "MIT"
+}
+
+Running Your Project Locally:
+
+1. Install the necessary dependencies with npm:
+
+npm install
+
+
+2. Build your Tailwind CSS:
+
+npm run build
+
+
+3. Start a local development server:
+
+npm start
+
+
+
+This structure helps you manage your files efficiently and maintain scalability as your project grows. It also gives you flexibility to work with static assets, organize components, and create optimized builds for deployment.
