The challenge
The website is how Harris County Public Health reaches the 4.7 million people it serves. Every division’s campaign sent residents there to learn more, so the site had to keep up with all of them.
How the work ran
Keep it current
Maintain the site with each division’s public information officer.
Post urgent updates
Emergency messaging during public health risks.
Design the blog
A responsive layout for articles from the department’s leaders.
Report
Measure the site with Google Analytics.
1Keep it current
I maintained and updated the department’s website together with the public information officer in charge of each division. It was also the destination for the campaigns I designed for them.
2Post urgent updates
When there was a public health risk, I posted the important messaging residents needed, such as emergency updates.
3Design the blog
I designed a blog system for the site: a responsive layout for articles by the department’s leaders and experts, on topics like Hurricane Harvey one year later, the peak of hurricane season and public health’s role in the community. Each article carries its author’s name and role, and the layout works from phone to desktop.
4Report
I reported on the site’s performance with Google Analytics.
