Hello all, I’ve been getting questions about creating websites for Purdue faculty. We basically have three options to offer, so let me walk you through them: 1. We can make a website like this: https://engineering.purdue.edu/MYMECH We will build it based on information you provide, but that is the faculty website template we are given. For a URL, you can choose engineering.purdue.edu/AnythingYouWant. 2. You can pay for an outside vendor like Squarespace/Wix/Wordpress, and maintain the website yourself (or ask a grad student to do it). Something like this: https://www.babakanasori.com/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.babakanasori.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cme-indy-faculty%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cc336ab44d3bc4af9efb608dcdd56ca30%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638628612029321117%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=z9O%2BATTdKLEo3Yz2Na2NCD3Dm%2BGppKtE%2BN6VRU99geQ%3D&reserved=0> 3. You don’t have to have a website if you don’t need one! Many of our faculty just use LinkedIn or other social media, or Google Scholar, or other platforms. I can always add info to your directory page, if all you need is to post basic information that rarely changes: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME/People/faculty.html Of our West Lafayette faculty, they are basically split evenly among all 3 of these options, so there is no “right” or “wrong” choice. However you choose to proceed, I’m happy to supply logos, videos, or photos if they are helpful to you. -- Jared Pike Senior Communications Director | Purdue University School of Mechanical Engineering jaredpike@purdue.edu
