Build a research website in under three hours (11 November)
This GRADskills workshop is open to doctoral students and staff from all disciplines. An academic website is a good way to make your research more visible, whether this is a website for you as an individual researcher or a site to showcase your whole research group. You can use your website to explain your research, list your publications, point out your collaborations, blog, link to social media and note your awards and achievements. The increased visibility through a website can be useful when job searching, attracting applications from prospective students and postdocs and finding potential collaborators.
This workshop requires no coding skills or programming experience. You will be introduced to the principles of web design, usability and a few different platforms for building websites free of charge. The workshop will focus on the free WordPress platform and you will be taken through the website building process; by the end you will have a functional research website that you can update and manage themselves.
