Why academic-specific themes matter

Generic website builders give you generic templates. getScholarSite themes are designed around what academics actually need to display.

Publication-first layouts

Every theme has a dedicated publication section with proper citation formatting and DOI links.

Education and career timeline

Display your academic positions, degrees, and affiliations in a clean chronological layout.

Lab member sections

Showcase your graduate students, postdocs, and research staff with photos and bios.

Course and teaching display

List your courses, teaching philosophy, and office hours in a format students can actually find.

Grant and award sections

Dedicated areas for funding, fellowships, and academic distinctions — not hidden in a generic portfolio grid.

Mobile-responsive by default

Every theme looks great on phones and tablets — search committees review on mobile too.
