+## package.json
+
+`package.json` dependencies and scripts are described here for readability:
+
+- scripts
+  - `build`: Builds the site to ensure changes are valid
+  - `build:ci`: Builds the site but fails if any warnings are detected. Used in our CI pipeline.
+  - `format:fix`: Fixes formatting of the `package.json` file
+  - `start`: Builds and serves the site at http://localhost:1313 with Hugo.
+  - `test:a11y`: Builds and serves the site, then uses Playwright and axe to test accessibility
+  - `test:a11y:tests`: Not meant for independent use, only as part of `test:a11y`
+  - `test:spelling`: Reports all apparent spelling errors. WIP, ref [#83](https://github.com/minetest/dev.luanti.org/issues/83) for details.
+- depdendencies
+  - `hugo-extended`: Static site generator that turns Markdown and shortcodes into HTML
+- devDependencies
+  - [`@axe-core/playwright`](https://npmjs.com/package/@axe-core/playwright): A11y tester bindings for Playwright
+  - [`@playwright/test`](https://npmjs.com/package/@playwright/test): Browser automation and test library
+  - [`cspell`](https://npmjs.com/package/cspell): Spellchecker
+  - [`sort-package-json`](https://npmjs.com/package/sort-package-json): Sorts package.json files for consistency
+  - [`start-server-and-test`](https://npmjs.com/package/start-server-and-test): Allows easy setup and teardown of complex tests, like our a11y tests

+This folder contains test files to help us review the accessibility of the site. We use `Playwright` and `axe` for this. Learn more at [Accessibility testing | Playwright](https://playwright.dev/docs/accessibility-testing).

-To launch the Hugo development server run `hugo server`. It will watch and regenerate whenever changes are made.
+This project uses [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) to build the site and various Node packages to test it.
 
-To generate the site once without starting the server you can simply run `hugo`.
+You can install Hugo locally as a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) package for convenience. Node is also used for further testing scripts, like spell-checking and a11y. These scripts are described in `package.json` and `readme.md`.

+To install and run via Node:
 
 ```bash
-npm install
-npm test
+npm install # Installs packages needed to build and test the site
+npm start # Builds and serves the site on a localhost port for manual testing
 ```
 
+If you prefer, you can manually install the relevant "extended" release globally from [Installation | Hugo](https://gohugo.io/installation/). Be sure to match the version present in `hugo.yaml`.
