Web design & SEO · Wisconsin injury firms · Docket No. 2026-WEB

Win the client before
the consultation.

When someone gets hurt in a wreck on I-94, they don't call the billboard. They grab their phone and Google. I build the site that turns that 2 a.m. "injury lawyer near me" search into a signed case for your firm. It loads fast, and it reads like a firm worth calling.

These are targets, not promises. I hold every build to them before it goes live.

 Exhibit A: the case against your current site

Most injury-firm websites are quietly losing the verdict.

Your marketing budget gets people to the page. If the page is slow, generic, or invisible on Google, they bounce to the next firm before they ever call. Here's where the cases leak out.

01 · Sameness

It looks like every other firm.

Template sites blur together. When you look like a commodity, you compete on price, not trust, and you lose to whoever shouts loudest.

02 · Speed

It's too slow.

Every extra second of load time sends injured visitors back to the results page. On mobile, where most of them are, slow means gone.

03 · Visibility

It's invisible on Google.

If you're not in the local pack for "personal injury lawyer near me" in your city, you don't exist to the client who's deciding right now.

04 · Leaks

It leaks leads.

Clunky mobile forms, no click-to-call, no after-hours capture. The 11 p.m. inquiry goes unanswered, then to your competitor by morning.

05 · Liability

It's not accessible.

A site that fails WCAG alienates clients and exposes your firm to the exact liability you litigate. Bad look for a PI practice.

06 · Story

It doesn't make the case for you.

No results, no real reviews, no reason to pick you over the firm on the billboard. You've buried your own best evidence.

 Exhibit B: what I build for injury firms

A site engineered to do one thing: turn searches into signed cases.

Every page is built around a single action (call or contact), then wired to rank, load fast, and hold up in court (well, in a WCAG audit).

Conversion-first design

Clear calls to action, click-to-call, sticky contact, and trust above the fold. Every layout decision points to the phone.

Wisconsin local SEO

Rank for your city + practice area. Google Business Profile, local schema, review generation, and city pages that win the map pack.

24/7 intake systems

Mobile click-to-call, smart forms, live-chat hooks, and CRM connections so no after-hours lead ever falls through.

Practice-area pages

Car, truck, motorcycle, OWI, slip & fall, med-mal, workers' comp, wrongful death. Each page is built to rank and convert on its own.

Results & trust modules

Verdict and settlement showcases, real reviews, and badges (Super Lawyers, Avvo, state bar) placed where they tip the decision.

Performance & Core Web Vitals

Sub-second loads, optimized images, and clean code. Speed Google rewards (and clients feel) on every device.

ADA / WCAG compliance

Built to WCAG 2.1 AA by default: keyboard navigation, contrast, alt text, focus states. Because you of all firms can't skip it.

Content that ranks & converts

Plain-English guides on Wisconsin injury law (comparative negligence, filing deadlines) that earn rankings and build authority.

Hosting & ongoing care

Managed hosting, backups, updates, and a monthly report you'll actually read. Your site stays fast and secure, and it keeps getting better.

 Built for the Badger State

Not a national template mill. I build for how Wisconsin gets hurt.

Snow-and-ice pileups on I-43 and I-94. Deer-season crashes up north. Boating and jet-ski injuries on the lakes. Snowmobile and ATV wrecks in the Northwoods. The way people get hurt here (and the way they search for help) is local, and your site should be too.

I know the market you're up against: the regional firms with the TV budgets and the highway billboards. The win isn't outspending them. It's a faster, sharper, more trustworthy site that converts the clicks they're already paying for.

 On the record

Questions, answered.

Do you only work with personal injury firms?
That's the focus, and it's the advantage. I understand PI intake, the practice areas, the trust signals that matter, and how injured people in Wisconsin actually search. You get a specialist, not a generalist learning your industry on your dime.
Will I own my website?
Yes, completely. You own the domain, the code, the content, and every account. No hostage situations, no proprietary platform you can't leave. If we ever part ways, everything goes with you.
Can you improve my current site instead of rebuilding it?
Often, yes. The free review tells us whether your current site is worth optimizing or whether a rebuild will pay for itself faster. I'll give you the honest answer either way.
Do you handle SEO, or just design?
Both, because a beautiful site no one finds is wasted money. Design and search are built together: fast, accessible, well-structured pages targeting the cities and practice areas that bring you cases.
How long does a project take?
Most firm sites launch in 4–8 weeks, depending on scope and how quickly we get content and approvals. You'll have a clear timeline before we start, and you'll always know what stage we're in.
What about ADA / accessibility compliance?
Built to WCAG 2.1 AA by default: keyboard navigation, color contrast, alt text, focus states, semantic structure. For a firm that handles injury and liability, it's non-negotiable, and it's included.
