A good lab website is continually updated with recent publications, and lab activities. It should also have info about lab members and what they’re working on.
Self-hosting a lab website requires maintaining a server. The leader for this is WordPress. You can also use GitHub Pages to host your website with tools like Jekyll and Hugo.
You can also use all-purpose website builders like Squarespace, Weebly, and Wix. There’s also Owlstown which is specifically designed for academics https://www.owlstown.com
