Static hosting for law firms
Solo and small-firm law sites have a clean shape: practice areas, attorney bios, case results, intake form, blog. The site exists to establish credibility and capture intake leads. Both survive migration.
What a typical law firm site looks like
Homepage with credibility cues, practice areas list, individual practice area pages, attorney bios, case results / verdicts page, blog (often the largest section), intake form, contact.
Most law firm sites we look at are on managed WordPress (WP Engine, GoDaddy Managed) running a legal-themed plugin or two. The intake form is the only meaningfully dynamic feature, and it's just a webhook.
When we run the automated assessment across the legal cohort, we see two clusters: solo and small-firm sites at 50–150 pages (clean fits for the standard plan) and mid-firm sites at 300–600 pages (Premium-tier for the extra QA on redirects). The largest, in the 500+ range, are usually Custom-tier projects.
Trade-specific things to know
- Intake forms need a static endpoint with file upload (clients sending intake docs). We use Formspree or a custom Cloudflare Worker for this.
- Disclaimer pages and 'legal' notices need to stay exactly the same word-for-word. We preserve them.
- Some firms have an 'attorney login' link to a third-party case-management system (Clio, MyCase). That's an external link, unaffected by migration.
- Schema markup (Attorney, LegalService, FAQ) is preserved through capture and re-emitted on the static pages.

Our take
Law firm sites are credibility plays. They need to look professional and load fast. Static migration optimizes both — clean URLs, fast page loads, no maintenance windows.
Questions
Will my client intake form still capture file uploads?
Yes. We swap the WordPress form for a static-friendly form provider that handles file uploads (typically Formspree or a custom-built Cloudflare Worker).
Are static law firm websites OK for SEO?
Yes — arguably better. Page-load speed is a ranking factor, and static sites are the fastest possible. Your existing SEO history transfers because we preserve every URL.
