Of course! There are many ways of going about this.

One way is for me simply to create the site and leave you to add content.
Alternatively, we can begin with a concentrated sprint (typically 1-2
hours) during which a few people work together on the website.

The sprint method has worked well with other groups, but it does take a
little more coordination. Either is fine, it's entirely up to you. I agree
it would be great to get something together and give this working group a
boost, and I'm happy to help out!

Cheers,
Laura
