+## Static Assets
+
+All assets in the **public** directory will be served. The specifics are defined [here](https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/concepts/public-assets.html).
+
+### Frontend
+
+The frontend (**public/frontend**) is served this way with a slight twist. Due to the way public assets are natively served in Strapi, a frontend middleware handles serving **frontend/index.html**. The other frontend assets are served natively. If the middleware was not implemented, pasting a non-root frontend path would lead to a 404. Read more about this [here](https://github.com/STEM-C/STEM-C/pull/28#pullrequestreview-415846251).
