+# Contributing to the SBOL Standard Website
+
+This guide is for editors and community members who want to add or update content on [sbolstandard.org](https://sbolstandard.org). You do not need to know Hugo, SCSS, or any programming language — all content is written in plain Markdown with a short block of structured data at the top.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A [GitHub account](https://github.com/join)
+- Basic familiarity with editing files on GitHub (or cloning a repo locally)
+
+Installing Hugo and running the site locally allows you to preview changes before submitting. See the main [README](README.md) for local setup instructions.
+
+---
+
+## How to Submit a Change
+
+1. **Fork** the repository on GitHub.
+2. **Create a branch** for your change (e.g. `add-pysbol-library`).
+3. **Edit or add files** following the relevant guide below.
+4. **Open a Pull Request** against `master`. An editor will review and merge it.
+
+If you spot a problem but don't want to fix it yourself, [open an issue](https://github.com/SynBioDex/SbolStandardWebsite/issues/new) instead.
+
+---
+
+## Content Guides
+
+Each guide below covers one type of content, with step-by-step instructions and a real example from the repo.
+
+| What you want to add or change | Guide |
+|---|---|
+| News announcement or event notice | [Announcements](docs/editors/01-announcements.md) |
+| Blog post | [Blog Posts](docs/editors/02-blog-post.md) |
+| Software library | [Libraries](docs/editors/03-library.md) |
+| Application or tool | [Applications](docs/editors/04-application.md) |
+| GenAI tool or AI resource | [GenAI Tools](docs/editors/05-genai-tool.md) |
+| Image in the Visual Gallery | [Visual Gallery](docs/editors/06-visual-gallery.md) |
+| Person on the Leadership page | [Leadership](docs/editors/07-leadership.md) |
+| Publication | [Publications](docs/editors/08-publication.md) |
+
+---
+
+## General Rules
+
+- **Never put HTML, CSS, or JavaScript inside Markdown files.** All content files should contain only front matter (the `---` block at the top) and plain Markdown text. Styling and layout are handled by the templates.
+- **Follow the folder structure exactly.** Each content type lives in a specific place; the guides show you where.
+- **Use the existing entries as your template.** Every guide links to a real example in the repo.
+- **Images go in the same folder as the content file** — not in `static/` or anywhere else.
+
+---
+
+## Questions
+
+Ask on [Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/sbol-standard/shared_invite/zt-1ukcka8b8-Z4QoyiE_LwwoRBw2DzheSg) or open a GitHub issue.
