Research project websites

The Research Computing team can assist researchers with creating a website for projects. These can be simple sites with information, or complex sites with research outputs or interactive elements.

Description

Many projects require a website for impact and engagement purposes. The Research Computing team can develop a website for your project that can range in complexity from a simple static site, through to an interactive experience for users.

  • There may be storage quota limits for larger websites that store a lot of data.
  • Private sites are possible but would require a Privacy Impact Assessment. Contact the Research Computing Team for more information.
  • Project sites where the Research Computing Team been costed take priority over non-costed sites.
  • Larger project sites (for example including interactive research outputs) will need fully costed and some functionality may not be achievable.
