Description
- Office Hours: A Professor’s Personal Squarespace Website Template
- Office Hours is a quiet, text-first template for academics who want a personal site that reads like a faculty page kept up by hand for years. It pairs a narrow reading column with a wide margin for sidenotes, a classic serif typeface, and plain underlined links. Restrained and personal, it puts courses, notes and writing ahead of any design flourish.
