Fig1 Studio builds and maintains lab websites for polymer research groups. We write research stories that students, reviewers, and the general public can follow, incorporate figures from your newest papers, and keep your publications and team pages current so you never have to log in (or assign this as a lab job!).
assistant professors we reviewed run their lab website on their own domain. A strong site is part of starting a new lab or building your reputation online.
faculty in the dedicated polymer departments we reviewed had no lab website of their own, only a university department profile.
lab websites weren't linked from the professor's own department profile, so prospective students never find them.
Source: Fig1 Studio review of public web pages for 147 faculty in six US chemical engineering, materials and polymer departments, September 2026.Written by a PhD polymer scientist from your papers, for prospective students, collaborators, and reviewers.
Key figures and TOC graphics prepared for the web, so they read at a glance alongside your publication list on any device.
A modern home base for prospective PhD students, postdocs and undergrads, plus directions for making donations.
Drop papers, photos, and announcements in a shared folder. Your site is updated periodically: no logins, no editing.
Built to WCAG 2.1 AA, which US public universities must meet for online web content by April 2027.
Built on Google Sites by default, in your account. You own it outright and can move it to your university's platform as needed.
The Okafor Lab is a fictional polymer lab built on the same template your lab would get: research areas, a publications feed with figures, a team page and a join-us page. Every real site is written around your own research.
