| 7 | +**On this page we will:** |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +* Turn the template site into something related to your own work. |
| 10 | +* Explore ideas for research project, group, or personal profile sites. |
| 11 | +* Make at least one small change that you could build on later. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +::: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +You have been working with the `quarto-template` site. On this page, you will start turning that template into a site that is *about you* and your work. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +You can choose any focus that feels useful right now: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +- A **research project** (past, current, or planned) |
| 21 | +- A **research group or lab** |
| 22 | +- Your **personal research profile** |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +If you are not sure what you want yet, have a look at the [Examples page](/pages/examples/index.qmd) in the site to see how other people use simple research websites. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +You can also use one of the ideas below as a starting point. |

| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Research project site |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Use the site to tell the story of a specific project. Possible sections: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- **Overview**: A short, plain-language summary of the project and why it matters. |
| 35 | +- **Aims and questions**: Bullet points for main research questions or objectives. |
| 36 | +- **Methods**: A brief description of data, methods, or models. |
| 37 | +- **Team**: Names, roles, and links to collaborators. |
| 38 | +- **Outputs**: Links to papers, preprints, posters, talks, code, or datasets. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +You might: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- Change the homepage text so it describes your project. |
| 43 | +- Add a "Project" page that lists aims, methods, and a simple timeline. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Research group or lab site |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Use the site as a simple research group or lab homepage. Possible sections: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- **About the group**: Focus areas, themes, or mission. |
| 50 | +- **People**: Short profiles or a simple list of group members and roles. |
| 51 | +- **Projects**: A few current or recent projects with one-line descriptions. |
| 52 | +- **Publications**: Selected outputs or a link to a full list elsewhere. |
| 53 | +- **Contact / joining**: How to get in touch or find out about opportunities. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +You might: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- Rename existing pages to “People”, “Projects”, or “Publications”. |
| 58 | +- Add one short paragraph for each person or project. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Personal research profile |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Use the site as your own academic website. Possible sections: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +- **About / bio**: Who you are, your role, and main research interests. |
| 65 | +- **Publications or outputs**: Selected work you want people to find easily. |
| 66 | +- **Teaching / supervision**: Courses, workshops, or student projects. |
| 67 | +- **Talks / blog / notes**: Optional space for short posts or slides. |
| 68 | +- **Contact and links**: Email, ORCID, GitHub, institutional profile. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +You might: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- Turn the homepage into a short “About me” with a photo. |
| 73 | +- Add a “Publications” or “Outputs” page with 5–10 key items. |
