Website Options

Lab or Faculty Websites

While the Informatics and Technology team does not have the resources to design and develop personal faculty or lab websites, we are more than happy to provide you with advice with respect to design options, web hosting, and technology.

Institute Affiliated Project Websites

There are two options for websites associated with research programs and projects. The Institute can provide your project with an ASU standards compliant website with comprehensive functionality as part of our project support service. Alternatively, you can choose to take an independent approach that will allow you to have creative control over the final product. The differences between these two options are described below:

Site Type	Institute Hosted (asu.edu)	Independent (e.g. xxx.org)
Technology	WordPress	Content Management System (CMS) of your choice
Hosting	Institute servers (no charge)	Hosting service of your choice (unmanaged $4+ p.m., managed $20+ p.m.)
Security	Updates managed by Informatics Team	Project/program responsibility
Design	ASU standard web theme with some standardized navigation	Flexible
Web Address (Domain Name)	Many options so long as not already in use at ASU, e.g. projectname.asu.edu, or project initials.asu.edu	Many options so long as the domain is available for purchase
Domain Name Management	Managed by Informatics Team	Project/program responsibility
Cost	In-kind project contribution	$5K-$30K+, dependent on site complexity and functionality
