+## Development
+
+While contributing content to this site doesn't strictly require setting up a development environment, it will allow you to preview your changes and that's super handy.
+
+To do that, the following prerequisites are needed:
+
+* macOS or Linux
+* [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/)
+
+Then clone the repository recursively to also pull in contents of `threefold_data`:
+
+```
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/threefoldfoundation/www_threefold_io.git
+```
+
+Now run `build.sh` to download Tailwind, build the CSS, and also build the site with Zola:
+
+```
+cd www_threefold_io
+bash build.sh
+```
+
+Finally, start a browsable local copy of the site that will respond to changes in the source files like this:
+
+```
+zola serve
+```
+
+Zola will display a local address such as `http://127.0.0.1:1111` which you can click or copy and paste into your browser to view the site on your own machine.
+
+That's it—have fun!
