Preset Research Templates: Beautiful, Easy to Use, Affordable to Scale
During the pandemic, we asked ourselves 2 big questions: how do we make OpenScholar website creation faster, easier and more affordable for our clients at universities and research institutes?
During the pandemic, we asked ourselves 2 big questions: how do we make OpenScholar website creation faster, easier and more affordable for our clients at universities and research institutes?
AND
How do we ensure that our designs are modern, clean, and aesthetically inviting?
The answer to both questions? The preset template.
WHAT ARE PRESETS?
- Pre-built websites for faculty, labs and researchers (makes website building similar to 'painting-by-numbers')
- Best practice information architecture is baked into the site.
- In-line editing allows you to add your own content and imagery quickly.
- Beautiful, elegant themes--choose from a suite of designs we have created, or we will build you what you need.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
- Big Cost Savings--several customized themes from OpenScholar cost less than one typical lab site redesign.
- Reuse themes for as many labs or sites as you need.
- Easy Adoption--preset layout + inline editing mean websites can go live in a few hours.
- Consistency of branding for your research sites--we align every template with your style guide.
- Modern, clean designs reflect the caliber of your research--no more '90s websites!
- Sites are easy to navigate + search. Your research is more visible and discoverable online.
