Sagentic Web Design was honored to partner with Fremont County to address critical challenges in their digital infrastructure. 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.

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
