Research group websites in several languages
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A research institute's groups each built their own website years ago, half of them are out of date, and prospective students and partners abroad cannot read them in their own language.
// What we would build
A designed set of research group websites on one platform, each group editing its own people, projects and publications, in the languages you choose, with an assistant that answers visitors from the sites' own pages and hands anything about admissions or partnerships to a person.
// What is in it
- A design for the institute and a template each group can make its own
- People, projects and publications edited by each group
- Publications pulled from ORCID, so lists stay current
- Pages in two or more languages, with translations you approve
- An assistant that answers from the sites and names its source
