+# DASC Lab Website
+
+
+## Local Development
+Install Hugo, following the steps at https://gohugo.io/installation/
+This website was built using Hugo v0.132.1
+
+To see the website locally, run
+```
+hugo server
+```
+and navigate to the url, usually `http://localhost:1313/`. 
+
+After the changes have been made, commit them onto a new branch, and create a PR to merge the content into `main`. 
+The github workflows will automatically deploy the new version of the website. 
+
+## Adding Content
+
+
+### Adding a person
+
+To add a new person, starting from the root directory, run
+```
+hugo new content person/$id.md
+```
+where `$id` must be replaced by the id you want to create. 
+
+Navigate to `/content/people/$id.md` and edit the front matter.
+After the front matter, you can add more details. These will be rendered on `dasc-lab.github.io/people/$id` page. 
+
+### Adding a paper
+
+Similarly, to add a paper, run 
+```
+hugo new content papers/$id.md
+```
+and then edit `/contents/papers/$id/md`. Again, you can add more info after the front matter, to have it render on the individual page. 
+
+If you link the author id correctly, each author's page will be automatically updated to include all the papers too. 
+
+## Styles and Layout
+
+This website uses boostrap https://getbootstrap.com/ v5.3.3 to create styles. 
+
+To customize additional css, edit `/layouts/partials/style.html`. 
+To customize how the `person` and `papers` render, edit `/layouts/partials/person-card` or `/layouts/partials/paper-card`. 
+
