-**LaraDock** helps you run your **Laravel** App on **Docker** in seconds.
+### Intro
 
 LaraDock strives to make the development experience easier.
 It contains pre-packaged Docker Images that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, NGINX, MySQL, REDIS, and any other software on your local machine.

 ### What is Docker?
 
 [Docker](https://www.docker.com)  is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of [operating-system-level virtualization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization) on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
