Open source tools for creating your own website
Trust us, it's easier than it sounds! While we've highlighted drag-and-drop website builders to create your own website, there are other free, open-source options that have customizable academic templates. The most popular option among scientists is the Academic template on Wowchemy (used together with GitHub & Netlify).
