+# Academic Project Page Template
+This is an academic paper project page template.
+
+
+Example project pages built using this template are:
+- https://www.vision.huji.ac.il/deepsim/
+- https://www.vision.huji.ac.il/3d_ads/
+- https://www.vision.huji.ac.il/ssrl_ad/
+- https://www.vision.huji.ac.il/conffusion/
+
+
+## Start using the template
+To start using the template click on `Use this Template`.
+
+The template uses html for controlling the content and css for controlling the style. 
+To edit the websites contents edit the `index.html` file. It contains different HTML "building blocks", use whichever ones you need and comment out the rest.  
+
+## Components
+- Teaser video
+- Images Carousel
+- Youtube embedding
+- Video Carousel
+- PDF Poster
+- Bibtex citation
+
+## Tips:
+- The `index.html` file contains comments instructing you what to replace, you should follow these comments.
+- The `meta` tags in the `index.html` file are used to provide metadata about your paper 
+(e.g. helping search engine index the website, showing a preview image when sharing the website, etc.)
+- The resolution of images and videos can usually be around 1920-2048, there rarely a need for better resolution that take longer to load. 
+- All the images and videos you use should be compressed to allow for fast loading of the website (and thus better indexing by search engines). For images, you can use [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com), for videos you can need to find the tradeoff between size and quality.
+- When using large video files (larger than 10MB), it's better to use youtube for hosting the video as serving the video from the website can take time.
+- Using a tracker can help you analyze the traffic and see where users came from. [statcounter](https://statcounter.com) is a free, easy to use tracker that takes under 5 minutes to set up. 
+- This project page can also be made into a github pages website.
+- Replace the favicon to one of your choosing (the default one is of the Hebrew University). 
+- Suggestions, improvements and comments are welcome, simply open an issue or contact me. You can find my contact information at [https://pages.cs.huji.ac.il/eliahu-horwitz/](https://pages.cs.huji.ac.il/eliahu-horwitz/)
