+## Contributing
+
+To work in the project you will need a node version supporting ES6 syntax. Although the project is built using the Babel compiler, we use some ES6 features on the development server. Consider using [n](https://github.com/tj/n) or [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) to handle different node versions!
+
+To start the spec site locally, follow these simple steps:
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://github.com/teamleadercrm/teamleader-ui
+$ cd teamleader-ui/
+$ npm i
+$ npm start
+```
+
+Open up a browser and the local spec will be available at [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/).
