WEBSITE DESIGN SERVICES
Website VIP Day
Your personal academic website in a day
You want a website, maybe it’s been on your to-do list for years. You don’t want to do-it-yourself. Get your website designed and set up for you, all your materials placed, and capacity-building training so you can manage it yourself after when you work with Jennifer van Alstyne.
The Website VIP Day idea sparked when a professor client needed a quick website. I thought, ‘I can create a 3 page website in a day, 100%.’ At the end of the night, she had 7 beautiful, customized pages of her personal academic website, a custom WordPress website designed just for her. It wasn’t a cookie cutter website. It had touches of her personality. It felt intentional. We’d gathered her materials together in advance, so the day-of I was set to go.
For your Website VIP Day, 100% of my focus will be on you and your website. And while all that work, creativity, and design happens for you in 1 day, we’ll have planned in advance. We take time to be intentional about your hopes and goals for your website during your in-depth planning meeting on Zoom. We have a shared Onboarding Document to collaborate on writing, gathering materials for your website, etc.
Your new professor website will be created for you. While I guarantee up to 7 pages, we may be able to get through a couple more that meet your long-term needs. At the end of your VIP Day I’ll email you a list of URLs to each page of your new website. Then we’ll meet on Zoom for your Review and Training Meeting.

This service isn’t by the page, it isn’t by the hour. It’s the website you didn’t know you needed. It starts with deep intentionality in the planning stages. We partner together from the start on vision, strategy, and talking about the people this website helps. Let’s work together to create your website to meet your goals and long-term needs. And, to help people more with the hard work you already do. I’m here to support you.
Let’s work together on your Strategic Website Plan for new and existing websites. Meet with Jennifer van Alstyne on Zoom to chat about working together. This is a no pressure call. When this service isn’t the right fit for you, it’s often because I feel it’s more support than you need. I’ll always be upfront and open with you if the Website VIP Day service is a better fit. I promise to help you in the right direction for you (even if it isn’t working with me). Thank you!

Here’s what people say about their personal academic website with Jennifer
“I have been wanting an academic website for several years. There are several times I started one or tried to have a staff member on my team start one and never finished it. It seemed like too much work to create and keep up with. With my new job and move to a new city I felt it was essential to create an online presence to help build partnerships and spread my work around.
— Courtney Zulauf-McCurdy, PhD
Working with Jennifer was a breeze! She showed up to every meeting prepared and with a smile on her face. She took the time to get to know my work and me as a person. She seemed invested in making sure my website was the best possible version it could be. I am still in awe of the final product! It was way better than I could have created or even could have imagined!”
“I had done my own personal website design in the past, which was just ‘OK.’ As I transitioned to a tenure track position I really wanted my online footprint to make a statement and I thought it be to seek support with my website. In the interest of time it was better to seek professional services.
— Makella S. Coudray, PhD
The 1:1 sessions where Jennifer really drilled down to the “why” of the website was most helpful…I was surprised by how much work was accomplished in a VIP day. One of the most rewarding things coming out of working with Jennifer was improved clarity of my vision for my research lab and my own career.”
“I reached out to Jennifer because I was looking to revamp my website and online presence. I wanted something that could appeal to non-academics. I wanted someone to look at my website and be able to find things easily, but also want to engage with me beyond my CV. I find most academic websites follow a similar template and are heavily dependent on text. Jennifer was helpful in getting me to simplify my writing, allowing my website to focus on getting people to the information they need.
— Emmanuel Balogun, PhD
Jennifer’s approach focused on getting me to understand why my work was important to the broader community, not just academia. Every meeting with Jennifer was a revelation; she was constructive in her feedback, yet collaborative in her strategy. My website engagement has increased significantly. I can’t thank or recommend Jennifer enough. Jennifer would be great for any early career academic who is trying to promote their work to broader audience, or the mid career/seasoned academic who needs to refresh their website/online presence to meet the demands of the academy today.
Jennifer was tremendous in distilling my professional experience into longer and shorter narratives. The multiple bios are extremely useful to use when funders and publishers request bios that require different lengths and pieces of information. Jennifer was able to help balance the right amount of personal information and professional information that I feel represents me well.”
Work with Jennifer on your personal academic website
Many of my professor clients are unsure about the kind of website they want. You want it to be professional. To represent you, sharing the things you care about and value as an academic. The hard work you already do.
Schedule your no pressure Zoom call to talk with me about working together on your website project. You deserve a personal academic website and don’t have to make it yourself (unless you want to). This Zoom call is space to talk through your website needs and about ways we can work together to make it happen for you.
