# Configuration
Without any configuration, the page is pretty minimal, and the user has no way to navigate around the site. To customize your site, let’s first create a `.vitepress` directory inside your docs directory. This is where all VitePress-specific files will be placed. Your project structure is probably like this:
```bash
.
├─ docs
│ ├─ .vitepress
│ │ └─ config.js
│ └─ index.md
└─ package.json
```
The essential file for configuring a VitePress site is `.vitepress/config.js`, which should export a JavaScript object:
```js
module.exports={
title:'Hello VitePress',
description:'Just playing around.'
}
```
Check out the [Config Reference](/config/basics) for a full list of options.
