Getting started

From sign-up to a published site

A short walkthrough for professors setting up their own ScholarSite for the first time.

Sign up and pick a plan

Register at digi-soft.app and choose Free, Pro, or Institution. You'll land back on ScholarSite already signed in, with a new (draft) site created for you.

Check your subdomain

A subdomain is generated automatically from your name. If you'd like a different one — or a custom domain, on Pro and above — set it under Domain settings.

Fill in your profile

Add your title, institution, department, photo, and bio under Profile & Hero.

Add publications, teaching, and awards

Enter these directly, or — on Pro and above — use Scholar Sync to pull in your ORCID record and Google Scholar stats automatically.

Choose what's visible

Toggle sections on or off, and set your SEO title/description, on the Sections & SEO page.

Publish

Flip the "Publish site" switch at the top of Sections & SEO once you're happy with it. Your site goes live immediately — you can unpublish just as easily if you want to keep editing privately.
