Website design Guide for Academics
Are you an academic in need of a website?
Web design can seem like a mystery, but it’s much easier than you think.
To help you get started designing your site, I created a free Website Design Guide For Academics. The guide will help you better understand the web design process and offers a roadmap for getting your website up and running.
If you find the guide useful, please share it 🙂
