 This is the source code for my personal portfolio, hosted on [my website](http://itsdrike.com)
 
-It is built using [huge](https://gohugo.io/).
+
+## Building the website
+
+The website is built using [hugo](https://gohugo.io/), but you will also need `npm` for [Bootstrap SASS](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/customize/sass/).
+The `npm` dependencies are listed in [`package.json`](./package.json) and can be installed simply by running `npm install`.
+
+After all NPM requirements are satisfied, to build the static webpage, run [`./scripts/build.sh`](./scripts/build.sh), which will create a `./public` directory.
+This directory will contain all static files and can be used as a location for the file server. You can also use [`./scripts/server.sh`](./scripts/server.sh), which
+will start the server directly with hugo. By default, this will use `http://localhost:1313`.
