+**Why?**
 
-- [abra](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/abra/)
+For over a decade static-sites (aka The JAM Stack) have grown in popularity.
+From early generators like Jekyll to modern Hugo and Gatsby, they are used to
+create rich content websites like knowledge bases, wikis, small business sites,
+and government portals. Developing static websites is trivial for experienced
+developers and relatively easy for anyone who knows HTML, CSS, and JS to
+customize responsive open-source themes. Content is easily edited in any text
+editor as it's stored in Markdown. GUIs like Decap CMS provide a similar
+user-experience to Wordpress or Drupal for less technical users.
+
+However, there are limited options for non-technical users to deploy
+static-sites to a webserver. *Parasol* addresses this need by creating an
+intuitive user experience empowering non-technical users to do everything from
+site generation to deployment as well as on-going edits and updates.
+
+## Milestones
