What is an academic website?

An academic website is a personal or group website that presents a researcher's work (publications, research, teaching, CV and contact details) on a domain the researcher controls. Unlike a university profile, it stays with you for your whole career.

How a university profile compares with your own academic website
University profile Your academic website
Your story One paragraph in a fixed template Your full story, in your own voice
When you move The page, its links and its search ranking disappear Your own domain moves with you
Your work Scattered across Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate and slides Publications, projects, teaching and CV in one place
When people look you up They find a directory entry, if anything They find your work, presented the way you choose

How it works

A personal academic website typically goes live within 10 working days of receiving your materials.

Send us your materials

Your CV, a short bio, a photo, and links to ORCID, Google Scholar and existing profiles.

We design and build

We turn them into a clear, professional website and share it with you to review before launch.

Launch and stay current

Your site goes live on your domain, and we add new publications whenever you send them.

Paying from a research grant?

Many funders expect a public home for project outputs and knowledge mobilisation. We invoice your department, grant or institution and work with purchase orders, so a lab or project website can be budgeted like any other research cost.

  • Invoices addressed to your institution
  • Purchase orders accepted
  • Clear, fixed scope agreed before we start
  • Funder logos and acknowledgements built in

Academic website questions, answered

What researchers ask us most before they start.

What is an academic website?

An academic website is a personal or group website that presents a researcher's work — publications, research, teaching, CV and contact details — on a domain the researcher controls. Unlike a university profile page, it stays with you when you change institution and is built to be found when people search your name.

Why do I need an academic website if my university gives me a profile page?

University profiles are usually one paragraph in a fixed template, and they disappear or break when you move. Your own academic website gathers your publications, projects, teaching and talks in one place, is written in your voice, and is what hiring panels, collaborators, journalists and funders find when they look you up.

What happens to my website if I move to another university?

Nothing breaks. The website and its domain belong to you, not your institution, so your address, links and search rankings move with you. You simply update your affiliation.

Can you import my publications from ORCID or Google Scholar?

Yes. We build your publications list from your ORCID record, Google Scholar profile or CV, with links to each paper. On the annual plan we add new publications whenever you send them to us.

How much does an academic website cost?

A done-for-you personal academic website costs $499 to build, then $120 a year for hosting, your domain, professional email and publication updates. Research lab and group websites start at $1,499 and research project websites start at $2,499. If you prefer to build it yourself, Faciotech Site Builder starts at $9 a month and has a free trial. Prices are in US dollars.

How long does it take to build an academic website?

A personal academic website typically goes live within 10 working days of receiving your CV, photo and links. Lab and research project websites depend on the number of pages and members, and we agree a timeline when we quote.

Can I pay from a research grant or with a purchase order?

Yes. We can invoice your department, research grant or institution and work with purchase orders, which suits lab and research project websites paid from research budgets.

Can I update my academic website myself?

Yes. You can edit your pages yourself whenever you like, or send us changes and we will make them. On the annual plan, adding new publications is included.

Do you build websites for research labs and research projects?

Yes. We build lab websites with member profiles, research themes, publications and news, and research project websites for dissemination: outputs, events, partners and funder acknowledgements. EPHE Lab, the Global Health Equity Collaborative Lab and WASH Equity are examples.

What do I need to provide?

Your CV, a short bio, a professional photo, and links to your ORCID, Google Scholar and any existing profiles. Tell us the domain name you would like, or we can suggest one. We write the page structure and headings for you; the research content comes from you.

Start your academic website

Tell us who the website is for (you, your lab or your project) and share a link to your CV or ORCID. We will reply with next steps within one working day.

Make your research easy to find.

Give your research a permanent, professional home that grows with your career.
