Websites for academics

Your research deserves a site people can actually find.

Personal websites for professors, researchers, and grad students on the market. Publications in one place, a CV that stays current, a link worth putting on a slide.

Case study

sarahannsinger.com

A structured academic portfolio — about, research, teaching, and contact — rebuilt from a single-page site. Designed so her book and current study are readable, searchable, and easy to keep current.

The problem

Outdated and hard to manage

Her site had drifted out of date, and the interface she had access to made updating it more trouble than it was worth — so it kept slipping.

What I built

Five pages, one clear system

Home, about, research, teaching, and contact, on a consistent editorial layout. The book and study were rebuilt from screenshots into real text, so they're searchable and accessible.

The result

Findable and readable

Her monograph and recruiting study are now real text on their own pages — indexed by search engines, readable by screen readers, and editable without remaking a graphic.

Placeholder — two sentences from Sarah about what changed after the site went up. Specific beats flattering.

How it works

Four steps — and you can stop after the third.

STEP 1

Free consultation

Thirty minutes over Zoom, by email, or in person if you're nearby. What you have, what it needs to do, who needs to find it.

STEP 2

I build a demo

A real working version at a preview link. Not a mockup.

STEP 3

You decide

If it isn't right, we stop and you owe nothing. If it is, you pay and we keep going.

STEP 4

Revisions, then launch

You send notes twice, I make the changes, the site goes live on your domain.

Questions

Before you book

How does the consultation work?

Over Zoom, or by email if you'd rather not schedule a call. I'm also happy to meet in person if you're in the Jersey Shore area.

How long does it take?

Two to three weeks from the first meeting to launch, depending on how quickly you can send content.

Who owns the domain and the site?

You do. The domain is registered in your name and everything lives in your account. You can take it elsewhere at any time.

What does it cost to keep running?

Roughly $15 a year for the domain. Hosting is free at this scale. Nothing goes to me after launch unless you ask for more work.

What if I want changes after the two revisions?

Small edits are usually quick and I'll quote them before starting. Most people prefer to make routine updates themselves — I'll show you how.

Can I update it myself?

Yes. Adding a publication or swapping a paragraph takes a few minutes, and I'll walk you through it before launch.
