Your work is serious.
Your site should be too.
Academix Studio builds websites for people whose credibility has to be legible quickly: academics, researchers, clinicians, advocates, authors and speakers.
A search committee, a journalist or a prospective client will decide in seconds whether you are the person they were looking for. The site's job is to make that decision easy and correct.
Publication records, teaching, supervision, media commentary and speaking.
Seven kinds of professional.
Different content, same underlying problem: the evidence of your competence is scattered across other people's platforms.
Academics and researchers
Publications, citations, current projects, supervision availability, teaching, and a version of your CV that a non-specialist can read.
Clinicians and practices
Scope of practice, referral information, appointment pathways, and patient-facing explanations that stay within professional advertising rules.
Advocates and attorneys
Practice areas, admissions, reported matters where permitted, and instructing-attorney information.
Consultants and engineers
Capability statements, registrations, project records and a clear route to enquiry.
Authors and speakers
Books, talks, a downloadable media kit, high-resolution photography and a booking path that does not depend on a form nobody checks.
Small institutions
Schools, churches, associations and community organisations that need something maintainable by a volunteer.
Content session
Ninety minutes. We interview you and write the copy from the recording, because most professionals write about themselves badly and know it.
Structure
A sitemap and page structure agreed before any design work, so revisions are about wording rather than architecture.
Design and build
Typography-led, fast, accessible and hosted anywhere. No page builder licence, no plugin sprawl, no annual dependency you did not choose.
Handover
A walkthrough recording and written instructions for updating publications and news yourself. Ongoing maintenance is optional, never required.
Four steps, four to six weeks.
Most of the delay in a personal site is waiting for content. We remove that by writing it with you in the first session.

Before you ask.
No. We interview you and draft from the recording, then you edit. Supplying your own copy is welcome and shortens the timeline, but it is not expected.
Yes. Publications, news and talks are structured so they can be added by editing a clearly marked section, with written instructions and a walkthrough recording provided at handover.
We make website management simple. Once your website is live, we take care of the hosting, security, maintenance, backups and performance, allowing you to focus on running your business.
Need to update your content? Simply send us the changes and we'll handle the rest. Before your project begins, we'll clearly outline what's included in your package, our support process, turnaround times and any additional services outside your plan.
Almost certainly. The builds are static files with no database or server-side requirement, which makes them straightforward for university IT departments to approve and host.
