Case study

Bar Expert Witness.

I built a dark, courtroom-serious homepage for a dram shop expert firm. It walks a lawyer from the case types handled, through numbered retention steps and services, to expert bios and an intake form that accepts the original complaint as an upload.

// how it was built

From brief to launch.

Lawyers vet an expert firm long before they call, so I built this page around their hiring steps.

01 discover

How counsel hires

I mapped the real retention sequence, from checking conflicts to assessing fit and signing a retainer.
02 plan

Hiring-path layout

I ordered sections as case types, retention steps, core services and expert biographies at the foot.
03 design

Black, red, neon

I set red numerals on black, added warm bar photography and chose a narrow capital typeface.
04 build

Intake with upload

I built the case form with location fields and an upload so the complaint arrives with the request.
05 test

Phone layout

I made sure the retention steps stretch full width on mobile and the form stays single-column.

Closing sections

The page went live ending on the animated venue count, the testimony integrity section and the map footer.

What I did

The build, step by step.

The page mirrors retention. Case types come first, then conflict checks, fit and the retainer, then services such as written case reports and deposition work.
Big red step numbers. Each retention stage is marked in red on deep black, readable at a glance.
Upload the complaint. The intake form takes contact details plus where the case is located, and accepts an uploaded file so counsel can attach documents.
Nightlife, but professional. Neon and whiskey photography brings warmth while a tall condensed capital typeface keeps things formal.
A strong close. An animated counter of venues nationwide and a section on testimony integrity end the page, above a footer with a map and contact details.
