+### Frontend
+
+I don't know about you, but I don't like to work on a site that looks two decades old. So let's improve the look of our little application.
+
+This is not a frontend tutorial, so we'll just [pure](http://purecss.io/) and call it a day.
+
+First we need to change the `Layout.html` template. I don't want to waste your time with HTML and CSS, so I'll just provide the code for you to copy paste.
+
+```php
+<!doctype html>
+<html lang="en">
+    <head>
+        <meta charset="utf-8">
+        <title>Example</title>
+        <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/pure/0.6.0/pure-min.css">
+        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
+    </head>
+    <body>
+        <div id="layout">
+            <div id="menu">
+                <div class="pure-menu">
+                    <ul class="pure-menu-list">
+                        {% for item in menuItems %}
+                            <li class="pure-menu-item"><a href="{{ item['href'] }}" class="pure-menu-link">{{ item['text'] }}</a></li>
+                        {% endfor %}
+                    </ul>
+                </div>
+            </div>
+            <div id="main">
+                <div class="content">
+                    {% block content %}
+                    {% endblock %}
+                </div>
+            </div>
+        </div>
+    </body>
+</html>
+```
+
+You will also need some custom CSS. This is a file that we want publicly accessible. So where do we put it? Exactly, in the public folder.
+
+But to keep things a little organized, add a `css` folder in there first and then create a `style.css` with the following content:
+
+```css
+body {
+    color: #777;
+}
+
+#layout {
+    position: relative;
+    padding-left: 0;
+}
+
+#layout.active #menu {
+    left: 150px;
+    width: 150px;
+}
+
+#layout.active .menu-link {
+    left: 150px;
+}
+
+.content {
+    margin: 0 auto;
+    padding: 0 2em;
+    max-width: 800px;
+    margin-bottom: 50px;
+    line-height: 1.6em;
+}
+
+.header {
+    margin: 0;
+    color: #333;
+    text-align: center;
+    padding: 2.5em 2em 0;
+    border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
+}
+
+.header h1 {
+    margin: 0.2em 0;
+    font-size: 3em;
+    font-weight: 300;
+}
+
+.header h2 {
+    font-weight: 300;
+    color: #ccc;
+    padding: 0;
+    margin-top: 0;
+}
+
+#menu {
+    margin-left: -150px;
+    width: 150px;
+    position: fixed;
+    top: 0;
+    left: 0;
+    bottom: 0;
+    z-index: 1000; 
+    background: #191818;
+    overflow-y: auto;
+    -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
+}
+
+#menu a {
+    color: #999;
+    border: none;
+    padding: 0.6em 0 0.6em 0.6em;
+}
+
+#menu .pure-menu,
+#menu .pure-menu ul {
+    border: none;
+    background: transparent;
+}
+
+#menu .pure-menu ul,
+#menu .pure-menu .menu-item-divided {
+    border-top: 1px solid #333;
+}
+
+#menu .pure-menu li a:hover,
+#menu .pure-menu li a:focus {
+    background: #333;
+}
+
+#menu .pure-menu-selected,
+#menu .pure-menu-heading {
+    background: #1f8dd6;
+}
+
+#menu .pure-menu-selected a {
+    color: #fff;
+}
+
+#menu .pure-menu-heading {
+    font-size: 110%;
+    color: #fff;
+    margin: 0;
+}
+
+.header,
+.content {
+    padding-left: 2em;
+    padding-right: 2em;
+}
+
+#layout {
+    padding-left: 150px; /* left col width "#menu" */
+    left: 0;
+}
+#menu {
+    left: 150px;
+}
+
+.menu-link {
+    position: fixed;
+    left: 150px;
+    display: none;
+}
+
+#layout.active .menu-link {
+    left: 150px;
+}
+```
+
+Now if you have a look at your site again, things should look a little better. Feel free to further improve the look of it yourself later. But let's continue with the tutorial now.
+
+Every time that you need an asset or a file publicly available, then you can just put it in your `public` folder. You will need this for all kinds of assets like javascript files, css files, images and more.
+
+So far so good, but it would be nice if our visitors can see what page they are on.
+
+Of course we need more than one page in the menu for this. I will just use the `page-one.md` that we created earlier in the tutorial. But feel free to add a few more pages and add them as well.
+
+Go back to the `ArrayMenuReader` and add your new pages to the array. It should look something like this now:
+
+```php
+return [
+    ['href' => '/', 'text' => 'Homepage'],
+    ['href' => '/page-one', 'text' => 'Page One'],
+];
+```
