I completely agree with Loïc: open source it so that people can work
with it and help out.  Include instructions on how to generate or
recreate the environment that the site runs, so people can run it
locally.

Another important thing would be to add some logos (perhaps with
stories/use-cases if possible) of well-known Erlang users in a
prominent place: WhatsApp, Heroku, Ericsson and so on.  It'd be useful
to see how other communities manage that, because you don't want
"David's Erlang Consulting" on that logo page or it's going to take
something away from it.  This is a "social proof" signal, so you want
to showcase people that are using Erlang to do cool stuff.

Thanks!
