 ## Getting Started
 
-Semantic is best used actively during development. We have included build tools for maintaining changes to Semantic as you work.
+### Basic Usage (Default Theme)
+
+We recommend setting up the Semantic build workflow to support on-the-fly
+theming and customization, but it is not required.
+
+To use the "ready-to-use" distribution version, which includes all components, simply link to
+`dist/semantic.js` and `dist/semantic.css` (or their minified counterparts) in your page.
+
+``` html
+<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/dist/semantic.min.css">
+<script src="/dist/semantic.min.js"></script>
+```
+
+You may also prefer to use individual components found in `dist/components` to reduce the libraries file size.
+
+``` html
+<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/dist/components/icon.css">
+```
+
+If you are unable to run build tools, for whatever reason, you can create a custom build by simply copying and pasting your necessary components into an online minifier](http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/uglifyjs)
+
+
+### Recommended Usage (Themed)
+
+Semantic is best used actively during development. We have included build tools for updating your site's theme as you work.
