+# Contributing
 
-# Help us!
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to the NixOS homepage!
+We value your time and effort in helping us improve this vital resource for the community.
 
+We want to make contributing as simple and welcoming as possible while ensuring the sustainability of the project.
+Our small team of volunteers prioritizes the [health and maintainability of the site over rushing features or catering to individual interests](https://github.com/NixOS/org/blob/main/doc/values.md).
+
+Here’s how you can help us achieve that:
+
+- Don’t hesitate to reach out! We’re here to guide you and get you started.
+- If you feel lost on where or how to contribute, ask the [Marketing Team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/marketing.html) on the [`#marketing` room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#marketing:nixos.org).
+- Focus on contributions that align with the project's long-term goals and maintainable growth.
+- Be mindful of the maintainers’ capacity. We, like you, are here because we are passionate about the project.
+
+## All Work is Tracked in Issues
+
+All work, whether proposed or in progress, should be documented in Issues.
+This ensures transparency and makes it easier for anyone to pick up tasks or for maintainers to manage the workload.

+## Propose Changes in the Right Place
+
+It takes a lot of time and effort to keep the website running smoothly.
+If you want to submit a change that is not tracked by an issue, propose it first so the details and scope can be refined before you start working.
+
+- For well-scoped ideas that you can implement, check if their is an existing issue. If not, create one.
+- For loosely defined ideas or if you lack the technical means to implement them, start a discussion in the Discussions section to refine the idea collaboratively.
+
+## Separate Pull Requests by Type
+
+When submitting pull requests, ensure they are categorized as one of the following:
 
-If you feel lost where and how to contribute, ask the [marketing team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/marketing.html) on the [`#marketing` room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#marketing:nixos.org).
+- Design changes
+- Content changes
+- Technical changes
 
+Avoid combining these types in a single pull request to make the review process smoother and more efficient.
