+
+## 🎨 Design Philosophy
+
+The Magic Bento UI system is built on three core principles:
+
+1. **Modularity**: Reusable bento card components
+2. **Consistency**: Unified design language throughout
+3. **Interactivity**: Engaging hover and scroll effects
+
+## 📊 Analytics Integration
+
+To add analytics, insert before closing `</body>` tag:
+
+```html
+<!-- Google Analytics -->
+<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=YOUR-ID"></script>
+<script>
+  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
+  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
+  gtag('js', new Date());
+  gtag('config', 'YOUR-ID');
+</script>
+```
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### Particles Not Showing
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Ensure JavaScript is enabled
+- Clear browser cache
+
+### Animations Lagging
+- Reduce particle count in `script.js`
+- Disable tilt effect
+- Check `prefers-reduced-motion` setting
+
+### Form Not Submitting
+- Form is set to demo mode
+- Replace `setTimeout` in `initContactForm` with actual API call
+- Configure backend endpoint
