Website Options
Self-Serve Website Service
For sites that need to be up and running quickly, we provide a "self-serve" website service (also sometimes referred to as SSFlex). This option lets you select a design, theme, and font pairing and then you can populate the site, yourself, with text and graphics. This is by far the fastest type of website to set up, is fully supported by our team, and makes up the vast majority of PSOM-hosted sites.

Custom Designs
For PSOM departments, offices, and centers who have more complex website needs, the PMACS Web Design team can create a modified self-serve site or a fully custom design to fit your needs. These sites are built using the same content management system as self-serve sites so you can populate and maintain the site after it's live. Fully custom designs are not available to faculty labs or student groups, and they incur a far longer wait time.
Below is a sampling of our sites to give you a better sense for the range of options:
Self-Serve with Little to No Customization
Self-Serve with Medium Customization
If you are interested in a custom design and your organization falls within the Perelman School of Medicine, please contact us.
For Websites with a Clinical / Patient Focus
Websites with a clinical or patient focus should reside on PennMedicine.org. Please contact the Penn Medicine Marketing Web Team for assistance.
Other Web Hosting Services
PMACS also provides additional limited-support platforms for those groups interested in using Word Press, Drupal, or doing their own website development. For more information on the availability of these services or to discuss the prospect of working with PMACS on a new web development project, please see the PMACS website.
