+Creative Commons (CC) Base is a universal WordPress theme for all front-facing Creative Commons websites.
+
+Although the CC Base source code is <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html" target="_blank">free and open-source software</a>, it’s intended to be used for the CC brand only as part of the <a href="https://cc-vocabulary.netlify.app/?path=/story/vocabulary-introduction--page" target="_blank">CC Vocabulary</a>. To learn more about the policies and licenses governing the use of the theme, view <a href="https://creativecommons.org/policies" target="_blank">Policies - Creative Commons</a>.
+
+## Why CC Base?
+
+ CC Base provides uniformity in design and improves the ease of maintenance. The CC Base theme is used across the Creative Commons ecosystem and as a consequence, all the websites are uniform and are generally easier to maintain.
+
+CC Base reduces the barrier of entry to contributing: CC Base theme is essentially a WordPress theme, so anyone with little to no knowledge of web design can easily start contributing to CC websites. To learn more about contributing to CC Base theme, see the <a href="#">Contributing</a> section.
