How AI reads this site

The first words an assistant reads on its home page.

What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleSites for Scholars | Science communication & academic websites
DescriptionSites for Scholars creates clear & attractive websites tailored to your target groups and communication needs as an academic researcher
First headingNone in the HTML
OpeningDo you need an academic website or a website for science communication? A site for an outreach initiative, a citizen science project, a research project, a research lab or center, a conference, an academic association, or your academic resume?

1 change so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Make the first heading say what the title says

    The home page has no first heading in its HTML.

    Agent instructions

    On sitesforscholars.com, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is.

  2. Read it again

    mttr reads the site again and says how it reads now.

An estimate made by mttr against 16 lines of work, from its home page before any script runs. It is not what any assistant says about the site. Rethink the direction with us.
