Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP Website Redesign & Platforming
Overview: Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP, a prominent law firm in California, sought a platform migration from their outdated CMS to WordPress. What started as a simple migration turned into a complete redesign, modernizing both the platform and the site’s design to better represent the firm’s reputation and scale.
Discovery: Initially, the firm needed a platform migration, but after seeing refreshed designs, they decided to also upgrade the visual aspects of the site. This included a modern layout, improved imagery, and enhanced user experience while maintaining the existing content structure.
UX Strategy: The redesign focused on making the site modern, easy to navigate, and more engaging. Key changes included larger fonts, better spacing, and structural updates like moving success stories to the homepage for immediate impact. A major improvement was simplifying the site by removing unnecessary elements like a gray sidebar, making it cleaner and more user-friendly.
Build: The most labor-intensive aspect was migrating content to the new WordPress CMS, which involved cleaning up old code and ensuring all data, including attorney profiles and practice areas, was accurately transferred. We implemented custom functionality so the site could easily associate attorneys with relevant publications and practice areas.

Closing Thoughts: The redesigned website, with an updated CMS and modern front-end design, provides a more professional and navigable experience for users. We were excited to help one of the leading West Coast law firms enhance its online presence, supporting their ongoing success.
