+#### Template
+A template is used to render your page.
+
+The default one is visible [here](src/resources/template.html) and it's going to be enough for the majority of cases.
+
+If you want to customise your template you can pass a custom template with the `--template` flag.
+
+The `--template` flag is available on the `build` and `watch` commands.
+```
+preact build --template src/template.html
+preact watch --template src/template.html
+```
