 ## Laravel
 
-We include a Laravel 4 service provider which provides a nicer syntax for using the client and allows for setting defaults from a config file.

-This will add the boilerplate configuration to `app/config/packages/maknz/slack/config.php`. You need to add the URL to the webhook the package should use. If you haven't already created an incoming webhook for the package to use, [create one in your Slack backend](https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook). The URL will be available under the *Setup Instructions* panel. You can also configure the default channel, username and icon in the config file.
+Head into the file and configure the defaults you'd like the package to use. If `null` is set for any, the package will fall back on the default set on the webhook.
 
-If `null` is set for channel, username or icon, the defaults set up on the Slack webhook will be used.
+The configuration file is used to bypass the client instantiation process to make using the package easier. Therefore, you can skip the the *Instantiate the client* section below and dive right into using the package.
 
 ## Basic Usage
 
 ### Instantiate the client
 
-If you are using the package in Laravel, **you can skip this section** as the client is instantiated for you.
-
 ```php
 // Instantiate without defaults
 $client = new Maknz\Slack\Client('http://your.slack.endpoint');

 #### Settings
