 This is the website for the SWIFT project. You can build the website by doing the following:
 
-+ Create a virtual environment (`` virtualenv3 env ``)
++ Create a virtual environment (`` virtualenv3 env `` or `` virtualenv env``) and ensure that it is `` python3 ``.
 + Activate it (`` source env/bin/activate ``) [note to deactivate you want to use the `` deactivate `` keyword in your shell]
 + Use that virtual environment to install the required packages (`` pip install -r requirements.txt ``)
-+ The source files for the website are found in `` site/ ``. Change to this directory.
-+ Use `` nikola build `` to build the website. The generated files will be placed in `` output ``. These can now be transferred to your webserver by using `` scp ``.
-+ You can start a local webserver to check things worked correctly by using `` nikola serve -b ``. This should open your browser at the same time.
++ Please note that the website also requires that pandoc be installed somewhere on the machine.
++ You can then compile the website by running `` python3 compiler.py `` from this directory. The conpiled files will be placed in `` ./compiled ``, and they can then simply be uploaded to a webserver. It is a fully static website so no need to worry about installing anything!
