This sounds like a genuinely useful idea, especially for postgraduate students whose CVs often don’t have enough space to showcase research, publications, projects, presentations, and academic work in detail. A personal website can provide a much better way to connect those individual achievements and give visitors a clearer picture of someone’s expertise.
I’d definitely include sections for research interests, publications, conference presentations, teaching experience, projects, awards, technical skills, and links to relevant papers or repositories. An easy-to-navigate design is also important so that the site feels professional rather than simply being a longer version of the CV.
The ability to upload an existing CV and generate a starting point sounds particularly convenient. I think tools like this could save applicants a lot of time while still allowing them to personalize how they present their work.
