@pkoepke wrote some copy/content that describes our brigade to inform the public and potential brigade members; I don't have link on hand for this at the moment (it's in our slack channel, if i remember correctly).

We could include @pkoepke wrote on a simple, single page as a good start for our website.

In addition to what @pkoepke wrote, the following info would also be useful on the website

For anyone working on this, feel free to make this into separate issues on github if you wish:

I like it: -Home -Events (points to our meetup page?) -Contact (how are people going to contact us anyway? Set up an email account that forwards to some of us?) -GitHub -Resources (CKAN, CfA website, other links)

Code for Dayton and Code for Summit County's websites are nearly identical in layout. Maybe they will share their code with us?

Code for Summit County's website code is on GitHub: https://github.com/CodeForSummitCounty/codeforsummitcounty.org

It's Apache-licensed and thanks Code for Virginia Beach and Code for Seattle for giving them a start, so it seems borrowing would be encouraged. I think we should ask Summit just to get in touch and let them know we're borrowing, but with their HTML, JS, and CSS we would be 90% of the way to a functioning website. I could start updating the content to be about us and searching for some Creative Commons pictures of Cleveland to use for the background.
