Websites & landing pages
Two people use a birth injury firm's website and they could not be less alike: a parent reading on a phone at two in the morning, and a managing partner auditing where the inquiries went. The first needs the fastest, calmest, least demanding path to a conversation. The second needs every inquiry to arrive tagged, timestamped and traceable to the case management system.
Two users, one page
| Metric | Budget | Why this number |
|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint, mobile, 75th percentile | Under 2.0 s | Field-measured. Lab scores flatter every site ever built. |
| Interaction to Next Paint | Under 200 ms | A form that lags on a distressed user loses the inquiry. |
| Total blocking time | Under 150 ms | Third-party tags are the usual cause; each one has to justify itself. |
| Render-blocking third-party requests | Zero | Fonts self-hosted, critical CSS inlined, no CDN in the critical path. |
| WCAG conformance | 2.2 AA, keyboard-verified | A site about injury that excludes disabled users is self-refuting. |
| Field | Keep? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | Needed to open a file and to speak to a person by name. |
| Phone or email, their choice | Yes | Forcing a phone number costs completions from people not ready to be called. |
| State | Yes | Determines jurisdiction, disclosures, and whether the firm can act at all. |
| Short free-text description | Yes | Carries most of the screening signal in a single field. |
| Date of birth of the child | On the call | It is the single most decisive screening fact and the most distressing one to type into a form. |
| Hospital, provider, diagnosis, insurer | On the call | Each of these on the form measurably reduces completions and none of them changes the first decision. |
What you own
The site, the code, the analytics property, the ad accounts and the content are yours, in your accounts, in your name, from the first day. There is no proprietary platform to be locked into and no licence that lapses when the engagement ends. If you leave, you take everything and nothing breaks. We consider that table stakes; it is worth stating because in this industry it is not universal. Audit your current site free →
What we report
| Metric | Role | Reported as |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiry → signed case rate by landing page | Primary | Headline. Page-level, not site-level. |
| Mobile conversion rate | Primary | Reported separately. Most of this audience is on a phone. |
| Largest Contentful Paint on mobile, at the 75th percentile | Guardrail | Field data, not a lab score. |
| Form abandonment by field | Diagnostic | Shows which question is costing you inquiries. |
| Sessions, bounce rate | Operational | Appendix. |
| Phase | Length | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 · Diagnostic | 3 weeks | Market sizing from our data, audit of current spend against cost per signed case, screening-capacity model | A written plan and a decision. Credited in full against the first three months of any retainer. |
| 1 · Instrumentation | Weeks 1–4 | Tracking rebuilt so every inquiry carries its source through to the case management system | A funnel you can audit. Nothing is optimised before it can be measured. |
| 2 · Build | Weeks 3–10 | Channel build, creative, landing pages, intake scripts and screening rubric | Assets you own outright, in your accounts, under your name. |
| 3 · Operate | Ongoing | Weekly optimisation against cost per signed case, monthly against cost per case surviving review | A monthly report that leads with signed cases, not impressions. |
When this is the wrong service for you
If your current site converts and is fast, do not rebuild it — instrument it and fix the intake path instead. A rebuild that moves conversion rate by a tenth while your first-response time sits at four hours is money spent on the wrong end of the funnel. Start with speed-to-lead and run the free audit before you sign anything with anyone, including us.
