Case study
Optimizing digital infrastructure for a government agency
Engineering

The background

A government agency in charge of providing consular services contacted us to enhance its website. The website serves as a vital digital hub for both the community and those seeking information about diplomatic initiatives, consular services, and cultural engagements.

It is a critical tool for fostering communication, providing timely updates, and facilitating various administrative processes. Maintaining the stability and security of this website is paramount to ensure uninterrupted access to essential services and information, continuous protection of  sensitive data, and maintain the brand reputation of this government agency.

The challenge

A government agency based in the U.S. needed to strengthen its consular website, a virtual hub for:

  • Diplomatic communication 
  • Business and traveller information
  • Consultar services for citizens abroad.

The site, built on WordPress, required better performance, security, and scalability to meet rising expectations.

The solution

Dura Digital deployed its Nearshore + Onshore Teams to modernize the website through a staged approach:

Testing Environment

Installed a local WordPress instance to test updates and troubleshoot issues without affecting the live site.

Optimization

Streamlined plugins, removed redundancies, and ensured compatibility across themes, PHP, and WordPress core.

Deployment

Implemented updates in a controlled maintenance window to avoid disruption.

Ongoing Monitoring

Post-deployment supervision to ensure stability and responsiveness.
