The Digital Experience Team (DXP)  is thrilled to announce the successful migration of 148 websites from various WordPress installations to a centralized and managed hosting solution on WordPress Engine. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for DTS in our ongoing commitment to enhancing the State of Utah’s online presence and delivering exceptional user experiences.

The transition to WordPress Engine brings a multitude of benefits to our agency clients. With WordPress Engine’s robust infrastructure and optimized platform, state websites now boast lightning-fast loading times. Coupled with the ongoing uptake of the Design System, we are ensuring seamless navigation and engagement for visitors. Additionally, the managed hosting solution eliminates the burden of server maintenance, SSL certificate renewals, and security updates, which allows our hosting teams and the DXP team to focus on other critical issues that impact DTS service delivery. 

As the DXP team continues to onboard websites to its growing customer base,  the cost-efficiency of the WordPress Engine solution is becoming realized. And we anticipate a reduction in overall hosting costs in future years.  This strategic investment in WordPress Engine underscores our dedication to providing cutting-edge technology and superior service to our agency partners while maintaining a fiscally responsible approach to spending tax dollars.
