 ## Usage
 
-### Frontend
-The static web app is deployed via Azure Static Web Apps or GitHub Pages. It provides an interactive form for users to input their requirements. By default, the frontend operates independently and uses hardcoded logic for recommendations.

-### Backend (Optional)
-The backend (Flask API) processes user inputs and generates recommendations dynamically. To enable backend functionality:
 1. Deploy the Flask API (`app.py`) to Azure App Service or Azure Functions.
 2. Update the backend URL in `script.js` to point to the deployed API.

-#### Backend Deployment
+> **Backend Deployment**:
 1. Use Azure App Service or Azure Functions to deploy the Flask API (`app.py`).
 2. Ensure the API endpoint is accessible to the frontend.
 3. Use Azure Monitor for logging and diagnostics.
 
-#### Frontend Deployment
+> **Frontend Deployment**:
 1. Deploy the static web app (`index.html`, `script.js`, `styles.css`) to Azure Static Web Apps.
 2. Update the backend URL in `script.js` to point to the deployed API (if using the backend).
 
-#### Security
