For law firms

WordPress developer for law firm websites.

I lead web engineering for a personal injury law firm in Central Florida: its WordPress and Shopify sites, with fixes, new pages, tracking, technical SEO, speed and the daily work of keeping them stable. If your firm's site is slow, hard to change, or you cannot tell which pages bring in inquiries, this is the work I do.

What I do

The kinds of work I do on this, with examples from real projects.

  1. Speed

    I measure how the site loads and fix what is slow: render-blocking scripts, heavy images, and theme and plugin weight. Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed work is part of my role at the firm.

  2. Technical SEO

    H1 corrections, schema, robots.txt, Search Console issues and Yoast SEO configuration. I also build landing and service pages.

  3. Tracking you can read

    GA4 and Tag Manager setups that match what visitors actually do, and integrations with tools such as CallRail and ActiveCampaign.

  4. WordPress development

    Theme and plugin work, Elementor builds, forms with WPForms and Elementor forms, and cookie consent with Complianz.

  5. Hosting and production support

    Hosting support, migrations and production fixes, with monthly support for sites that need someone to call.

  6. Automation

    AI-assisted workflows and automations that cut manual work, with n8n among the tools. A legal-lead intake system built on RAG and n8n exists as a concept build only.

Is this a fit?

An honest check before you write to me. If it is not a fit, I will say so and, where I can, point you to what is.

A good fit

  • A firm whose WordPress site is slow, hard to change or poorly tracked
  • A firm that has been told its site has technical SEO problems and wants someone to find and fix them
  • An agency that serves law firms and needs a senior WordPress engineer behind its designs

Probably not a fit

  • Legal copywriting, paid advertising or a full marketing retainer
  • Anyone looking for a promise of rankings or case volume. Nobody can make one.

What this page does not cover

This is engineering work. Legal copywriting, paid advertising and attorney-advertising compliance are not part of what I offer here, and what a firm's website may say is a question for the firm and its counsel. I implement the wording and disclaimers you approve.

Client information

Contact and intake forms can collect sensitive details. In the review I look at what each form asks for, where entries are sent and who can read them. Your obligations around confidentiality and data are a question for your counsel.

How a project starts

Most work begins the same way: something is slow, something broke after an update, or the checkout is losing people. I find the cause, fix it, and show you the before and after.

  1. Review

    I look at the store, its theme and apps, and find what is causing the problem.

  2. Plan

    You get a written list of what is wrong, in priority order, with an estimate for each item.

  3. Build

    Changes are made on a staging copy, reviewed, and then released.

  4. Check and hand over

    I measure again, send before and after numbers, and document what changed.

Who it suits

  • Shopify and Shopify Plus brands with a live store and real orders
  • WooCommerce and WordPress sites that have outgrown their build
  • Agencies that need a senior engineer behind their designs

The usual first step is a fixed-scope technical review plus the top-priority fixes, delivered in one to two weeks. Larger builds and ongoing work follow from there.

Common questions

The things people ask before they write. If yours is not here, ask it in the form.

Can you take over a site another agency built?

Yes. I begin with a review of the theme, plugins, hosting and integrations, then send a written, prioritized list with an estimate for each item.

Can you promise rankings or more cases?

No. Nobody can promise rankings or case volume. I fix the technical problems that hold a site back, make sure tracking shows what visitors do, and send before and after numbers.

Who decides what the website can say?

Your firm and its counsel. Attorney advertising rules differ by state and country, and I am not a lawyer. I build and maintain the site and implement the wording and disclaimers your firm approves.

Do you work with firms outside the United States?

I work mainly with teams in the United States and Australia, and also Canada. I am based in Islamabad (UTC+5) and usually reply within one business day.

Tell me what's not working.

Send the store address and a few lines about the problem. I'll reply with what I think is causing it, what I'd do first, and whether I'm the right person for the job.
