Web Platforms for Departments, Labs & Researchers
Fast, accessible platforms for university departments, research groups, and professors — from publication databases to data tools and course sites, built to handle real traffic and meet accessibility requirements.
Built for the way academia actually works
University IT is slow and generic templates don't fit research. I build tailored academic platforms — searchable publication lists, research-data interfaces, lab and course sites — that are fast, accessible (Section 508/WCAG), and easy for non-technical faculty to maintain.
- Searchable publications, people, and project databases
- Interfaces for research data, datasets, and tools
- Section 508 / WCAG accessibility for compliance
- Fast under conference-day and enrollment traffic spikes
The problems I solve every week
“University IT takes months and the template won't fit our lab.”
A purpose-built site for your department or lab, delivered on your timeline, that fits your actual content — publications, people, projects, data.
“Our publication and research data lives in scattered spreadsheets.”
A searchable, filterable database for publications and datasets — easy to browse for visitors and simple for faculty to update.
“We must meet accessibility rules but don't know if we do.”
Section 508 / WCAG-conscious builds with accessible markup, keyboard navigation, and contrast — so you're compliant and inclusive.
What academic teams get
Platforms tuned to research, teaching, and outreach.
Publication databases
Searchable, filterable, citation-friendly lists of papers and outputs — with BibTeX/DOI support.
Research data tools
Interfaces and dashboards to browse, query, and visualize datasets for collaborators or the public.
Lab & department sites
People directories, project pages, news, and resources that faculty can update themselves.
Course & program sites
Syllabus, materials, and registration pages that hold up during enrollment surges.
Accessibility (508/WCAG)
Compliant, inclusive builds that satisfy university and federal accessibility requirements.
Performance at scale
Caching and a fast stack so the site stays up during conference, deadline, and enrollment spikes.
Questions, answered
Do you work with individual professors or whole departments?
Both — from a single professor's research and publication site to full department or multi-lab platforms. The build scales to your scope and budget.
Can you import our existing publications and data?
Yes. I can ingest publications from BibTeX, ORCID, Google Scholar exports, or spreadsheets, and build datasets into a searchable, maintainable structure.
Will it meet university accessibility requirements?
Sites are built toward Section 508 and WCAG standards — accessible markup, keyboard navigation, proper contrast and alt text — so they pass institutional review.
Can faculty update it without a developer?
Yes. I add a friendly editor or admin so non-technical faculty and staff can post news, add people, and update publications on their own.
