Web-Design for Scientists
A workshop for easy and fast website generation using mkdocs.
More and more scientists make use of easy static website generation to introduce themselves and their work to the broad public, potential future employers or funding sources.
During the workshop we will set up our own website using Material for MkDocs and GitHub Pages.1
After going through this workshop you'll have a first draft of your website and the skills to develop the website further on your own.
Take a look at Anna-Lena's website that was created with this workshop for an example of what you can do!
