 Hello world
 -----------
 
+Type this and run it:
+
+.. code-block:: kotlin
+
+   import io.kweb.*
+   import io.kweb.dom.element.*
+
+   fun main() {
+     Kweb(port = 8091) {
+       doc.body.new {
+         h1().text("Hello World!")
+       }
+    }
+   }
+
+Visit http://localhost:8091/ in your web browser and you should see the traditional greeting, translating to the
+following HTML body:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+  <body>
+    <h1>Hello World!</h1>
+  </body>
+
+This simple example already illustrates some important features of Kweb:
+
+* Getting a kwebsite up and running is a breeze, no messing around with servlets, or third party webservers
+
+* Your Kweb code will loosely mirror the structure of your page HTML
