In 2002, Academic Web Pages created a web site for a professor who wanted descriptions of her research projects and reprints of her articles generally available. We created a design that featured all her current work, so that she could send the many requests for information she received to her web site, where people could "help themselves." The idea of presenting academic information in a nicely designed, well-organized manner made sense to a lot of professors, and we’ve been creating web sites ever since. Since then we have created hundreds of web sites at colleges and universities across the United States and Canada.
