-Beginner-friendly tutorial on using Quarto for sharing research.
 
-## Contributors ✨
+In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to build a straightforward Quarto website to share and organise your research. You will be introduced to using GitHub, Quarto and Markdown. No prior experience is needed - we'll guide you through each step using free, open tools that make it quick and straightforward to get a site online.
+
+You'll see how a website can become a powerful hub for your work: a place to share notes, methods, outputs, and updates openly and accessibly. Your site could act as a:
+
+* A homepage that brings together work across a theme, programme, or research area.
+* A project site focused on a single study, collecting all results, any code, and outputs, and acting like an online appendix to a paper.
+
+The workshop will give you **practical skills and templates you can adapt for your own research**. By the end, you'll have the foundations for your own site - and a clear sense of how open, well-documented work can make your research easier to share, reuse, and build on.
+
+After the workshop, you can keep building on your site. Quarto has many possibilities, including adding blog posts, interactive figures, embedded code, galleries, teaching materials, or project updates. It's a flexible foundation that can grow with your research, learning, and collaborations - and is free and open to use and host your site.
