An Easy, Effective Event Homepage for Your Academic Event

Last year I wrote a blog post about How to Archive a Conference. Since then, I've been hired by several academics to build conference websites. Now, I'm pleased to offer a simpler, more affordable solution : Academic-news.org.

From upcoming conferences to past workshops. Academic News is your affordable, stable, simple solution - no website experience necessary. Be up and running in minutes.

Web designers are expensive: $40 to $100+ per hour. And building a website isn't just a matter of cutting and pasting. Design takes time, and that adds up. A small website with just a few simple pages can cost well over $1000.

Academic News recognizes your funding is precious. So I've developed an alternative: a one page Event Homepage hosted on the Academic News website, configured to effectively showcase your event - no web designing experience necessary.

All webpages share the clean, professional look and feel of the Academic News website. The easy to use form lets you customize your page by adding text and images. There's even space (20MB) to upload readings, schedules, maps, forms and more.

Focus on what matters. Leave the website to Academic News.

Use the site to attract potential participants, or as a deliverable to funding bodies.

You’ll get:



  • A professional looking, easy to edit webpage

  • Configured specifically for academic events

  • A customizable web address (URL)

  • 20MB storage for PDFs (schedules, maps, readings, etc)

  • Email support

  • Maintainance of copyright ownership

  • 5 year guarantee


All for a simple one-time fee – no subscriptions, no hidden costs. Do-it-yourself or full services packages available.
