+The component documentation for _dash-bootstrap-components_ contains many snippets showing example usage, as well as API documentation for each component explaining the different props that you can set.
 
 Example snippets for the different components will look something like this, with tabs to switch between R or Julia versions of the examples.

 ## Adding the snippets to your app
 
 Note that the contents of each snippet **do not by themselves constitute a working app**. We generally omit boilerplate code such as standard imports and instantiation of the app. In the above example you would additionally need to:
 
-1. import Dash
-2. create a Dash app instance (making sure to link a Bootstrap stylesheet, see the [themes documentation](/docs/themes/) for details)
-3. assign `layout` to the app layout
-4. start the Dash server.
+1. Import Dash.
+2. Create a Dash app instance (making sure to link a Bootstrap stylesheet, see the [themes documentation](/docs/themes/) for details).
+3. Add the example to the app's layout.
+4. Start the Dash server.
 
-If any of the above steps are unclear, please take a look at the [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart/) instructions for creating a basic app, the [examples](https://github.com/facultyai/dash-bootstrap-components/tree/main/examples) in our GitHub repository, or refer to the official Dash documentation for [Python](https://dash.plotly.com/), [R](https://dashr.plotly.com/), or [Julia](https://dash-julia.plotly.com/).
+For example, a simple application incorporating example above could look like this, where we wrap the snippet in a container and add it to the layout.
+
+{{code-example:components/index/simple.py}}
+
+There is more detail on this in the [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart/) instructions for creating a basic app. Additionally, the [examples](https://github.com/facultyai/dash-bootstrap-components/tree/main/examples) in our GitHub repository demonstrate how multiple components can be combined to create a feature rich application.
+
+For more details on Dash in general, please refer to the official Dash documentation for [Python](https://dash.plotly.com/), [R](https://dashr.plotly.com/), or [Julia](https://dash-julia.plotly.com/).

 Sometimes you may wish to use Bootstrap's grid system for specifying the layout of your app, but you don't want the changes Bootstrap makes to the typography, or to load all the additional CSS classes that Bootstrap specifies. In such a situation, you can link only the CSS required for the grid system using the `themes` module.
