+## Quickstart
+
+To run the website locally simply execute the following commands:
+
+```shell
+# install all dependencies
+$ npm i
+# run in development mode. this will start the dev server at localhost:5173
+$ npm run dev
+```
+
+## Building
+
+To build the website for production, use the following command:
+
+```shell
+# install all dependencies
+$ npm i
+# build for production. will be available in the build/ directory
+$ npm run build
+# run the production build.
+# this will start the server at 0.0.0.0:3000, you can customize this and various other behaviors by defining environment variables. see the configuration section below for more information
+$ node build/index.js
+# same as 'node build/index.js' above but this loads variables from a .env file into the environment
+$ node -r dotenv/config build/index.js
+```
