Step 3 of 9

A note before we start

The choices you're about to make are a starting point, not a final design.

Your site is fully customizable. If you have specific ideas that aren't covered here — a particular layout, a reference site you love, a specific color or typeface — just mention it in the notes section at the end, or send it along when we follow up.

Step 8 of 9 · Your info

A few details about you

This is everything we need to get started. The more you share, the less we'll need to follow up about.

We'll pull your publications and citation stats directly from here.
Your existing university profile if you have one.
Don't worry about making it perfect. We'll refine it together.
These don't have to be academic sites. Anything that gives us a sense of your taste helps.

.jpg or .png — ideally a professional or department photo
A headshot is used on your About page and hero section. If you don't have one yet, your university department page photo works fine — or we can use a placeholder and swap it in later.

Drop files here or click to browse
CV, papers, anything else useful
    Most useful: CV or resume (PDF) and any papers you want highlighted. Files stay on your device until you submit.
