+## GitLab CI
+
+This project's static Pages are built by [GitLab CI][ci], following the steps
+defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](.gitlab-ci.yml):
+
+```
+image: node:9.11.1
+
+pages:
+  cache:
+    paths:
+    - node_modules/
+
+  script:
+  - yarn install
+  - yarn build
+
+  artifacts:
+    paths:
+    - public
+  
+  only:
+  - master
+
+```
+
+This sets up a `node9.11.1` environment, then uses `yarn install` to install dependencies and `yarn build` to build out the website to the `./public` directory.
+It also caches the `node_modules` directory to speed up sebsequent builds.
+
+## Building locally
+
+This project uses [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com), you'll need to install this globally before you can get started.
