A custom, security-hardened website for a growing law practice — built from scratch, structured for local search, and owned outright by the firm.
A new practice needs a website that reads as established from the first visit. Prospective clients compare several firms before calling one, and most of that judgement happens in the first few seconds — before anyone reads a word about experience.
The site also had to be built so it could grow. A law firm that adds a practice area should be able to add a page for it, not rewrite the site.
A hand-coded site with no template and no page builder, built mobile-first because that is where most legal searches start.
The structure is the important part: practice areas are built as their own pages rather than a single combined list, so each one can be the best answer to its own search and new areas slot in without restructuring.
Intake is treated as sensitive from the start — contact submissions carry facts about a legal problem before any engagement letter exists, so the form is validated server-side, rate-limited, and delivered straight to the firm rather than pooled on a server.
The firm owns every file: source code, content and domain. There is no platform licence and nothing to renew for the site to keep working.
An honest note on numbers: this was a new practice launch, so there is no "before" traffic to compare against and we will not invent one. For clients replacing an existing site we capture speed, indexed pages, rankings and lead volume before launch and re-measure at 30 and 90 days.
Every build starts with a straight conversation about what your business actually needs the site to do.
