+##  Code of Conduct 📜
+
+Before contributing, please familiarize yourself with our [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/json-schema-org/.github/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+
+##  How to Contribute 🚀
+
+There are several ways you can contribute to the JSON Schema website:
+
+* [**Reporting Bugs** 🐞](#reporting-bugs-🐞)
+* [**Suggesting Features** 💡](#suggesting-features-💡)
+* [**Improving the Website** 🌐](#improving-the-website-🌐)
+
+### Reporting Bugs 🐞
+
+Encountered a bug on the website? Please use the issue templates to report it. The templates provide guidance on the information needed to help us resolve the issue.
+
+### Suggesting Features 💡 
+
+Do you have an idea for a new feature that could improve the website? Open an issue to share your suggestion.  Refer to the "Improving the Landscape" section for details on creating issues.
+
+### Improving the Docs 🚧
+
+We welcome your help in making the JSON Schema Landscape documentation even better! Here's how you can contribute:
+
+* **Spot a mistake? Have a suggestion for clarity?** You can directly edit the Markdown files used for the documentation in a pull request.
+
+
+* **Limited content type changes:** If you have ideas for improvements that don't involve code changes (like typos, grammar, or better explanations), you can follow these steps:
+
+    1. **Identify your contribution:** Is it a documentation fix, improved clarity, or a suggestion for better phrasing? 
+    1. **Make your changes:** Edit the relevant Markdown file.
+    1. **Create a pull request:** Submit a pull request with your changes and a clear description of the improvements.
+
+## Improving the Landscape 🌐
+
+We welcome your help in making the JSON Schema Landscape website even better! Here's how you can contribute:
+
+The website is built with a tool called CNCF Landscape, designed for managing this type of information. While large code edits aren't possible, some customization is achievable through configuration and themes.
+
+* Have an idea for a new feature that works within CNCF Landscape's limitations? Open an issue to discuss your proposal. We use a project board to track website contribution tasks: [link to project board](https://github.com/orgs/json-schema-org/projects/19).
+
+
+
+
+## Pull Requests 📬
+
+We welcome pull requests for bug fixes, new features, and content improvements. 
+
+* If your pull request addresses a specific issue, please reference the issue number in your pull request description. This helps us link and close the issue when the pull request is merged.
+* Generally, pull requests should be submitted to the `main` branch.
+* Most pull requests will be open for review for at least 14 days. Minor fixes may be merged more quickly once approved by a project member.
+
+For more details on creating pull requests, refer to GitHub's documentation: [https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests)

-Welcome to the JSON Schema Landscape project.
+## JSON Schema Landscape
+
+[![JSON Schema logo - Build more, break less, empower others.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/json-schema-org/.github/main/assets/json-schema-banner.png)](https://json-schema.org) 
+
+## Empowering you to navigate the JSON Schema Ecosystem
+
+We're thrilled to announce the launch of the JSON Schema Landscape! This comprehensive resource is designed to be your one-stop shop for exploring the ever-evolving JSON Schema ecosystem.
+
+## The JSON Schema Landscape: Your Map to the Ecosystem
+
+ This resource catalogs and organizes the key players in the JSON Schema ecosystem. Explore tools, libraries, and validation solutions to streamline your JSON Schema development.
+
+## What benefits do you gain from the JSON Schema Landscape?
+
+
+* **Streamline development:** Find essential tools and libraries.
+* **Align solutions:** Discover options that perfectly fit your needs.
+* **Gain insights:**  Understand the current JSON Schema landscape.
+
+## Dive deeper! Explore the Extensive JSON Schema Ecosystem
+
+
+ Visit the deployed website at [https://landscape.json-schema.org/](https://landscape.json-schema.org/) and delve into the rich ecosystem of tools and resources available.
+
+## Run Locally
+
+This section is for those interested in contributing or running the landscape website locally.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+* Install Landscape2 first. Find pre-built versions for your system on the Landscape2 releases page: [https://github.com/cncf/landscape2](https://github.com/cncf/landscape2)
+
+**Building the Website:**
+
+The build process creates the website from data files. Run this command in your terminal:
+
+```bash
+landscape2 build \
+  --data-file landscape.yml \
+  --settings-file settings.yml \
+  --guide-file guide.yml \
+  --logos-path logos \
+  --output-dir build
+```
+
+**Running the Website Locally:**
+
+Once built, use Landscape2 to serve the website locally:
+
+```bash
+landscape2 serve --landscape-dir build
+```
+
+This starts a local server and opens the website in your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
