Site Mender
When McDowell Hetherington needed a modern law firm website that reflected their national legal presence and supported growth, they turned to Site Mender to modernize their platform, streamline content management, and improve performance.
McDowell Hetherington, a litigation-focused law firm practicing in multiple states, was operating with an outdated website that no longer represented the strength or scale of the firm. The design was dated, the performance was sluggish, and the site lacked clear organization. Most importantly, it failed to convey the firm’s high level of professionalism or the breadth of its practice areas.
The website was also difficult to manage internally. Content updates were cumbersome, requiring outside help for even small changes. While the firm initially brought Site Mender on board for website maintenance, it quickly became clear that a full redesign was necessary to align the site with the firm’s stature and evolving needs.
Site Mender rebuilt the McDowell Hetherington website from the ground up, using a custom WordPress framework optimized for performance, usability, and scalability. The new design better reflects the firm’s credibility and makes it easier for visitors to explore its multi-state legal services and diverse practice areas.
We developed a custom backend structure that empowers the firm’s staff to manage much of their own content — from attorney bios to news updates — without relying on outside developers. The site architecture was redesigned to create stronger internal link connections, supporting both usability and SEO.
With clean code and minimal plugin dependencies, the site runs quickly and reliably. In addition to hosting and ongoing maintenance, we also support the firm’s internal infrastructure, including development and management of their company intranet.
