+Welcome to the [Deployer](https://github.com/0xProject/0x-monorepo/tree/development/packages/deployer) documentation! Deployer is a tool for compiling and deploying Solidity smart contracts with ease.
+
+It serves a similar purpose to the [Truffle framework](http://truffleframework.com/), but for intermediate to advanced Solidity developers that require greater configurability and reliability.
+
+Deployer has the following advantages over Truffle:
+
+* Deploy each smart contract with a specific version of Solidity
+* Improved artifact files:
+ * Properly segregated artifacts to support storing different versions of smart contract deployed on different networks.
+ * Storage of contructor args and contract source code
+* An easy to maintain codebase: TypeScript + Single package
+* Allows you to specify the deployer address
+* Migrations that work with `async/await`
+* Migrations that can be written synchronously in order to guarentee deterministic contract addresses
+* No race conditions when running migrations.
+
+Deployer can be used as a command-line tool or as an imported module.
