Digital Solutions Core

The Digital Solutions Core supports the Houston Methodist Academic Institute by providing a web presence for their projects and programs. Digital Solutions offers a range of services that can be tailored to a team’s needs, from turn-key websites, to occasional updates, to Do-It-Yourself training for support staff.

Examples of the types of projects produced by the Digital Solutions Core include:

• Turn-key ancillary websites that promote programs involving multi-institutional collaboration and multi-organizational branding, hosted on a third-party platform
• Lab websites which allows faculty to promote research conducted in their lab
• Evergreen websites that enable clients to establish and maintain an online presence for recurring annual events, hosted on a third-party platform
• Customized Clinical Trial Directory pages featuring upgrades (such as images and videos), hosted on houstonmethodist.org
• Expand existing houstonmethodist.org presence with extra pages that offer more complex information in greater detail
• Intranet updates pertinent to relevant Academic Institute pages

Customized maintenance plans are available for teams that need help managing web pages without a dedicated resource.

Package Options

These options are available for websites to support and empower Academic Institute internal teams: 

1. Simplest solution (Do-It-Yourself): Client creates and supplies text and graphics and fills in a WordPress template that automatically populates the web pages
2. Mid-range solution: Client provides only text and images which the Digital Solutions team uses to build the website
3. Full-service solution: Employs the expertise of the Digital Solutions team to fully create text and graphics to build the website
