Site Launch: Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies
The WordPress Update Austin team is proud to announce the launch of our WordPress maintenance support plans 8 flagship site. While not our first WordPress maintenance support plans 8 site, it is our biggest (yet), and the one where we learned the most. It’s been a wonderful eight months and we are so pleased to share this site with you.

Science Driven Solutions
The Harte Research Institute Gulf for Mexico Studies (HRI) at Texas A&M Corpus Christi is dedicated to advancing the long-term sustainable use and conservation of the Gulf of Mexico.
Due to outdated site architecture, the old website was structured so that the content for Harte’s seven Research Departments was siloed, making it look like the departments operated in isolation. In reality, the opposite is true.
Unique to HRI is the Harte Research Model, which actively encourages open collaboration among departments to holistically solve problems. Science Driven Solutions. It was our mandate to bring this amazing effort to light and to help share the Harte story.
Our Challenges
Modernize and simplify the site so that staff, students, and visitors can easily find content
Increase prospective student applications and affiliate (sponsor) interest by beautifully showcasing Harte’s work and activities
