Oakwood Legal Group, a reputable law firm specializing in family law, required a new digital presence that conveyed trust, authority, and professionalism. Their existing website was generic, slow, and failed to differentiate them in a competitive market. The primary objective was to build a secure, informative, and accessible website that would serve as a primary lead generation tool.
Lack of Trust: The old design looked dated, which undermined the firm’s credibility with potential clients.
Poor Performance: The site scored below 40 on Google PageSpeed Insights, leading to a high bounce rate.
No Clear Call-to-Action: Visitors were unsure how to get in touch, with contact information buried deep within the site.
I engineered a solution from the ground up by developing a custom, block-based WordPress theme that was both highly secure and easy to manage.
Professional & Accessible Design: Using Figma, I designed a clean, structured, and trustworthy interface. The design adheres to WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, ensuring it is usable by everyone. A prominent “Free Consultation” call-to-action was placed strategically throughout the site.
Performance-First Development: The theme was built with a minimalist approach, avoiding bloated plugins. All assets were optimized, and an efficient caching strategy was implemented, resulting in the new site achieving a 96 Google PageSpeed score and loading in under 1.5 seconds.
Custom “Attorney & Services” Post Types: I created custom post types for “Attorneys” and “Practice Areas,” allowing the firm to easily add new team members and detail their services. This structured data also benefits SEO.
The new website dramatically improved Oakwood Legal’s online presence.
Within three months of launch, leads generated from the website’s contact form increased by over 200%.
The site’s organic search ranking for key local terms like “[City] family lawyer” climbed into the top 5.
The firm received positive feedback from clients on the website’s professionalism and ease of use.
