The home of Home Assistant is [https://home-assistant.io](https://home-assistant.io). This is the place where we provide documentation and additional details about Home Assistant for end users and developers.
home-assistant.io is using [Octopress](http://octopress.org/). To get more details, please checkout the [documentation](http://octopress.org/docs/). That means that creating a new page is simple. The pages are written in [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/), you don't need to care about HTML or alike.
To work on the website the process is no different to working on Home Assistant itself.
- Fork the home-assistant.io [git repository](https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant.io).
- Create/edit/update a page.
- To test changes to home-assistant.io locally, run ``rake preview`` and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000.
- Create a Pull Request against the **master** branch of home-assistant.io.
For a component page it would be the fastest way to make a copy of an existing page and edit it.
## Code
To take advantage of the build-in features of Octopress to display code snipplets, just use the default markdown syntax.

## Images, icons, and logos
The images which are displayed on the pages are stored in various directories according their purpose.
| Type | Location |

| screen shots | source/images/screenshots |
| logos | source/images/supported_brands |
No everything has a logo, to show something we are using the [Gnome Icon Theme](http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-icon-theme) from the [GNOME Project](http://www.gnome.org) as a source for the placeholders.
