What’s included

Your own domain, set up for you

You buy a domain like yourname.in in your own name, and I help you pick it and connect it. The address stays yours, and it is easy to put on a slide or a CV.

Works on phones

Many visitors, including prospective PhD students, will open your site on a phone. Every template is designed for small screens first.

Google Scholar and ORCID links

Your research profiles sit one click away, alongside ResearchGate, LinkedIn or GitHub if you use them.

A proper publication list

Papers grouped by year, with authors, venues and DOI links, and your own name in bold.

Fast to load

Pages are plain and light, so they open quickly on campus Wi-Fi and slow mobile connections.

Updates handled for you

Send a new paper, student or piece of news on WhatsApp and I add it. You never log in to anything.

Why not build it yourself, or with AI?

You can. Google Sites, WordPress and AI website builders are cheap or free, and they work. Here is what you get by handing it to me instead.

  • Your time stays on research

    A site that looks right takes a weekend or two to build, and then more time every time you add a paper. I do that part.

  • It stays current

    Most self-built faculty sites stop being updated after a semester. You send a WhatsApp message and I make the change, so your site never says “2022”.

  • Built for academics, not shops

    AI and drag-and-drop builders produce generic landing pages. You get a real publication list: grouped by year, DOI links, your name in bold, Scholar and ORCID one click away.

  • Found by the right people

    Proper titles, descriptions and structured data, so a PhD applicant searching your name finds your site, and a link shared on WhatsApp or email shows a clean preview.

  • No ads, no builder branding

    Free plans often add their own logo, banners or slow scripts. Your site shows only your work, loads fast on phones, and meets accessibility basics.

  • Someone to ask

    If something looks wrong or breaks, you message one person who already knows your site, instead of searching help forums.

How it works

  1. Pick a template

    Look through the three live demos and choose the one that fits how you want to come across.

  2. Send your CV or profile link

    A CV, your university profile page or your Google Scholar link is enough to start.

  3. Review a preview

    Within a few days you get a preview of your site to check. Tell me what to change.

  4. Go live on your domain

    You buy your domain (I will tell you exactly which one and where), and the site goes live on it.

Pricing

One payment for the site. The yearly plan keeps it hosted and up to date.

Have a different budget?

Tell me what you can spend and what you need, and I will tell you honestly what I can build for it. Many sites start small and grow later.

Questions

My college already has a profile page for me. Why do I need this?

College profile pages are hard to update and show only what their template allows. This site is yours: it can show all your publications, students, projects and news, and it stays current because I update it when you send me changes.

Do I need to do anything technical?

No. You send your CV or profile link, look at the preview, and tell me what to change. The only thing you do yourself is buy the domain, and I walk you through that. I handle the setup, hosting and every update.

How do updates work?

Send me the new paper, student, talk or news item on WhatsApp or email, and I add it to the site. The yearly updates plan covers this along with hosting.

Can I move the site later?

Yes. You own the domain and the content. If you ever want to move it somewhere else, I hand everything over.

How long does it take?

You see a preview within a few days of sending your CV. After that, going live depends mainly on how quickly you review it and confirm the domain.

Want a site like this?

Message me with the template you like, or just your profile link, and I will tell you what your site would look like. Based in Pilani. Happy to meet in person.
