Design & structure
A clean, modern, scholarly layout suited to your field and seniority, responsive on phone and desktop.
Academic Websites Β· Founding places open
A professional academic website β built for you, owned by you.
JS Insights designs and deploys independent websites for academics β researchers, lecturers, professors and small research groups. Your profile, research, publications and contact details, presented clearly and kept under your control. We are in a founding / pilot phase, so a limited number of early places are available at founding prices.
What this service is
An independent scholarly web presence, done properly.
We build clean, modern academic websites that present your work credibly and that you fully own and control. JS Insights uses modern tools, including AI-supported workflows, to work efficiently β but every site is designed, human-reviewed and accuracy-checked before launch. You are paying for design judgement, careful editing, correct publication formatting, full deployment and domain setup, and a single point of responsibility β not for raw AI output.
Why an independent website
Why academics need their own website.
- Your university profile is limited, formatted to a template, and controlled by the institution β and it breaks or disappears when you move.
- An independent site presents your full research story, publications and teaching the way you want.
- It stays with you across jobs, grants and career stages, as a single citable home you control.
- It strengthens grant applications, collaborations and invitations, and looks credible to funders, students and journalists.
- It links cleanly to ORCID, Google Scholar and your university profile.
What JS Insights provides
From first draft to a live, deployed site.
Content shaping
We turn your CV, bio and publication list into clear, well-organised pages. We edit and structure what you supply; we do not invent academic claims.
Publication formatting
Consistent, readable reference lists, grouped by year or theme, with links where appropriate.
Accuracy & rights review
A human check of names, titles, dates and links, and a check that you have the rights to the content supplied.
Deployment & domain setup
We handle hosting, the technical setup and connecting your domain, plus sensible basic SEO so you are findable.
Handover & warranty
A live site, a short guide, and a 30-day defect-fix window after launch.
Example project
An example academic website we built.
mscole.com
JS Insights designed and built mscole.com as an independent academic website, presenting profile information, research, publications and contact routes in a clear, responsive format. The project illustrates the kind of scholarly web presence we can create for academics who want a professional site they can own and control.
Example sites are independent projects and do not imply endorsement by any university, employer or institution.

FAQ
Common questions.
