+# The data.coop website
+
+## Building the site
+
+The site is built using [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com)
+The simplest way to work with the site and code is to use Docker.
+
+```git clone https://git.data.coop/data.coop/website.git data.coop
+cd data.coop
+docker-compose up```
+
+This will fire up the website inside a Docker container and start listening on port 4000.
+Simply connect your browser to http://localhost:4000 and you're good to go. In development
+mode, the site has the [jekyll:livereload](https://github.com/RobertDeRose/jekyll-livereload) extension enabled, allowing you to see your changes immediately
+upon saving files in the source directory.
+
+## Deploying the site
+TODO: Set up webhook for auto-deployment on push to master.
