Academic Websites
Back to ExploreI maintain these open-source templates for professional academic websites, from a lightweight Hugo starter to a feature-rich Jekyll design:
1. Academic Starter
A lightweight Hugo starter with a simple structure and minimal maintenance, covering the essential components of a professional academic profile.
2. Academic Builder
A flexible Hugo template designed for easy setup and customization, with a richer set of built-in features.
3. Academic Signature
A feature-rich Jekyll academic website based on al-folio, with a redesigned profile-focused interface and extensive support for academic content.
Other established options
If you prefer a different ecosystem or workflow, these well-established alternatives are also worth considering:
Academic Pages — a good choice for a traditional Jekyll + GitHub Pages academic portfolio with all standard academic sections.
al-folio — useful when you want a mature, feature-rich Jekyll ecosystem with BibTeX publications, and extensive customization.
HugoBlox Academic CV — useful if you prefer Hugo with a larger block-based ecosystem, visual editing, and integrations for Markdown, BibTeX, Jupyter, and LaTeX.
Quarto Academic Website Template — particularly useful if your existing research workflow already uses Quarto, RStudio, or Jupyter and you want the website to follow the same
.qmd-based workflow.
