With a mission to ensure accessibility, enhance security, and simplify website management, we worked closely with the Fremont County Clerk’s Office, Election Office, and Public Health Data teams to deliver modern, compliant websites tailored to their needs.

Today, Fremont County benefits from Fremont County Clerk & Recorder, Fremont County Election Office, and Fremont County Health Data, three fully managed websites that reflect their commitment to transparency and service excellence.


The Challenge

Fremont County faced significant hurdles with their previous websites, including a data breach that exposed critical vulnerabilities in their internal hosting. These challenges included:

  • Accessibility Compliance
    The websites lacked WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating barriers for residents with disabilities and increasing legal risks.

  • Security Vulnerabilities
    A breach highlighted the need for modern hosting and proactive security measures to protect sensitive data.

  • Operational Inefficiencies
    Maintaining internally hosted websites placed undue strain on county staff, detracting from their ability to focus on public service.


Our Solution

To address these issues, Sagentic Web Design developed a comprehensive plan tailored to Fremont County’s unique needs. Key solutions included:

  • Redesigning Three Websites
    The Clerk & Recorder website and the Election Office website were reimagined to meet WCAG 2.1 standards, ensuring accessibility for all residents. The Public Health Data website was built to provide a centralized, user-friendly platform for accessing vital health information.

  • Enhancing Security
    All three websites were migrated to secure external hosting with SSL encryption, proactive monitoring, and routine updates to prevent future breaches.

  • Providing Fully Managed Services
    From routine updates to emergency support, our unlimited support model relieved operational stress and ensured Fremont County’s websites remained reliable and up-to-date.


The Results

The partnership between Sagentic Web Design and Fremont County produced impactful results that have strengthened their online presence and public trust:

  • Accessible Websites
    Each site is fully WCAG 2.1-compliant, ensuring inclusivity for all users and compliance with Colorado’s accessibility laws.

  • Improved Security
    With robust hosting and monitoring in place, the risk of future breaches has been eliminated.

  • Operational Efficiency
    County staff now benefit from fully managed services, allowing them to focus on serving their community rather than managing website issues.

  • Enhanced Public Access
    The Fremont County Clerk’s website provides clear, accessible information for residents. The Election Office website ensures voters can easily access crucial election details. The Public Health Data website serves as a vital resource for health information.
