Case Study: Boulder County achieves scalable, reliable cloud hosting with Insight Designs

Boulder County reduces hosting costs by 50–60% with Insight Designs

Boulder County needed to migrate its high-traffic public website from an on-premises Microsoft SharePoint environment to a more modern, scalable, and cost-effective cloud platform. The challenge involved moving a large volume of content and creating a new hosting environment that could ensure high reliability and support future growth. Insight Designs was engaged to manage this migration to AWS and WordPress.

Insight Designs migrated the county to a scalable WordPress platform on AWS, utilizing services like Elastic Beanstalk, load balancing, and a CDN. The solution included a structured content migration process and new tools for content editors. As a result, the platform now supports approximately 6.5 million page views annually with virtually zero downtime while reducing long-term hosting costs by 50–60%.
