Explore the Research Sites Project, an innovative effort by the Information Services – Research IT Support team and the Office of the Vice-President (Research) at the University of Regina. This initiative involves a website hub for research labs and centers, offering modern, responsive, and affordable websites. The project incorporates essential features for research websites, including News, Announcements, Events, Members, Publications, and Awards.
Our primary aim was to ensure effortless website updates, making it feasible for non-technical individuals to manage and add content seamlessly.
While for very simple websites (e.g. a landing page or just a few static pages) these “all-in-one” solutions like Wix or Squarespace could be cheaper, they come with complications to move your website away from them if you ever need a more specific solution. If you have the need for more structured content (such as events or publications), they become hard to manage or require upgrades to higher-prices tiers.
The RSCH Sites Hub was designed to meet the needs of researchers. It leverages WordPress, the most popular content management system in the world, and Elementor, the most popular page and theme builder plug-in, to ensure you are secure, have access to the latest features and can maintain your website with ease.
Additionally, with the RSCH sites, your website and domain will be hosted at the UofR, so you can be sure of where your data is being stored. You also retain ownership over all your website content, so if you ever feel the need to leave the hub, we would be sad to see you go, but we would assist you in any way we can.
Our objective is to provide a digital platform that streamlines the tools necessary to showcase your research, allowing you to spend more time on what truly counts.
The Research Sites Hub encompasses tailored features for research institutes, labs, and centers. From News and Announcements to Events, Members, Publications, and Awards – we’ve compiled the essentials to showcase your work and influence.
These websites are fully responsive, adapting to desktops, tablets, and smartphones, ensuring your research shines across every screen.
Our website design prioritizes user-friendliness. Updating and adding content is straightforward, and the RITS team is available for additional support whenever you need it.
We’re here for you!
