Done for you
We handle design, deployment and hosting. You send the content, we turn it into a live site.
Own your domain
Use a free yourname.thescientist.info subdomain, or bring a custom domain like YourName.com.

HTML vs WordPress
Which one fits you?
Both produce a professional site. The difference is who edits it and who maintains it.
Our recommendation
HTML
Built and edited by us. You send changes, we publish them.
- Who edits: our team
- Maintenance: none for you
- Backups: handled by us
- Speed: very fast, minimal footprint
In the AI era, HTML sites are easy for us to build and update. For most scientists this is the simpler, safer choice.
WordPress
You edit content yourself through the WordPress admin.
- Who edits: you
- Maintenance: your responsibility (updates, plugins)
- Backups: your responsibility
- Skill level: minimal tech skills required
Good if you want full autonomy over day-to-day content changes and are comfortable with a simple admin panel.
