+# Homepage
+
+This repository contains all the code that I use to host my website. Pages are written in markdown and are rendered to
+static HTML using Jekyll and a custom Bootstrap theme that I created.
+
+## Installing dependencies
+
+Based on the [Jekyll quick start guide](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/)
+
+**Note:** Make sure Ruby and RubyGems are installed
+
+1. Install the jekyll and bundler gem packages
+    ```shell
+    gem install jekyll bundler
+    ```
+
+2. Install site dependencies
+
+    **Make sure you are in the root directory of the git repository**
+    ```shell
+    bundle install
+    ```
+
+## Building the static site
+
+Static HTML and CSS files can be built using the following command.
+
+```shell
+bundle exec jekyll build
+```
+
+All static files should now be in the ```site/``` directory.
+
+## Important note:
+
+The static site's root is ``_site/``. Everything outside of that is processed by Jekyll and placed in `_site/`.
+
+**Note:** Some of the final code in ``_site`` may not have proper indentation, and some comments might have been
+removed.
