Using slimPHP for simple practice web app

Hello,

I am creating a simple web app where I want to practice my CSS skills (and possibly some Javascript & PHP) by recreating the designs of popular sites without looking at the source code.

I decided to use the slimPHP framework after going through the tutorial available here. Has anyone here used slimPHP for any professional or personal development? I am trying to work out how to organise my file structure.

Currently, it is like this:

assets/
    *various files*
app.log
composer.json
composer.lock
index.php
js/
templates/
     *various files*
vendor/
     *various files*

I have seen other files structures at http://www.slimframework.com/2011/09/24/how-to-organize-a-large-slim-framework-application.html and https://github.com/briannesbitt/nesbot.com which look nothing like mine so I'm confused about the best practice.

This is my first time working with a framework.

Cheers,
