Identified Challenges in Existing Legal Firm Website and Digital Presence

The client’s current website suffers from inconsistent visual design, outdated technology, poor user navigation, and limited accessibility, which hampers user engagement and fails to effectively communicate the firm's extensive expertise. Additionally, inefficient content management and tech infrastructure pose risks to scalability and security, impeding the firm's ability to maintain a modern and engaging online presence.
