Case Study: Grundy County, Iowa achieves a secure Joomla 4 and PHP 8 website upgrade with corePHP

Grundy County, Iowa migrates 15 years of pages to Joomla 4 and PHP 8 with corePHP

corePHP worked with Grundy County, Iowa to address a significant security and functionality challenge. The county government's website was running on outdated, end-of-life versions of Joomla and PHP, which posed a growing security risk. A further complication was the need to preserve fifteen years of content and contacts from every department without exceeding a strict budget.

The solution from corePHP involved creating a staging site with Joomla 4 and PHP 8, then meticulously migrating all content. corePHP utilized a pre-built template to control costs and facilitated a departmental review process to ensure no data was lost. The result was a secure, modern website that the county now runs independently, with corePHP implementing a page builder to empower staff to make future content changes without needing developer support.
