+
+At `www-clear`, volunteers are able to mange events, see participant registration, manage ticket pricing, view event status, see a list of sponsors, edit notifications, and view related projects. Engineered with Next.js and React, this repo also incorporates design rules and display requirements defined within `topo` (see below).
+
+The following mind map illustrates how data flows from `www-clear` through `gql-server` to the `clear-gql` server and back to the user:

+### Contribution Guidelines
+CodeDay has a dedicated Notion page with more information about adding or changing our open source software. Visit our [Contribution Guidelines](https://www.notion.so/codeday/Contribution-Guidelines-draft-04e4cac2f72744b7b84e1e1a68c55f4e) page to learn more.
+
+### Style Guidelines
+The way a page is displayed–the color schemes, content layout, and dimensions–are governed by [_topo_](https://topo.codeday.org/). As CodeDay’s primary design software, powered by [Chakra UI](https://chakra-ui.com/), `topo` ensures whatever web browser is used will properly display CodeDay content to user.
+
+#### Standardized Workflow for Contribtions
+As we work with so many volunteers and up-and-coming developers, we have a standardized way to submit pushes, pull requests, merges, and file naming to keep work consistent. Visit our [Formatting Submissions](https://www.notion.so/codeday/Formatting-Submissions-draft-04e4cac2f72744b7b84e1e1a68c55f4e) page to learn more about how to submit your work to CodeDay reviewers.
