@section Introduction to website work
The website is @emph{not} written directly in HTML;
-instead, the source is Texinfo, which is then generated into HTML,
-PDF, and Info formats. The sources are
+instead it is autogenerated along with the documentation through a
+sophisticated setup, using Texinfo source files. Texinfo is the
+standard for documentation of GNU software and allows generating
+output in HTML, PDF, and Info formats, which drastically reduces
+maintenance effort and ensures the contents of the website to be
+up to date with the rest of the documentation. This makes the
+environment for improving the website rather different from common
+web development.
+
+If you have not contributed to LilyPond before, a good starting
+point might be incremental changes to the CSS file, to be found at
+@uref{http://lilypond.org/css/lilypond-website.css} or in the
+LilyPond source code at @file{./Documentation/css/lilypond-website.css}.
+
+Large scale structural changes tend to require familiarity with
+the project in general, a track record in working on LilyPond
+documentation as well as a prospect of long-term commitment.
+
+The Texinfo source file for generating HTML are to be found in
@example
Documentation/web.texi
