Legal services site, rebuilt from WordPress
Fastspeed Legals — case study
A Cornwall firm that helps company directors deal with winding up petitions, CVAs, CCJs and HMRC debt — moved off WordPress onto a faster site it runs itself, with every old address still working.
The project
What was needed
Fastspeed Legals had a WordPress site with fourteen articles that directors facing a winding up petition find through Google. The brief was a new site that keeps that search presence, speaks plainly to someone who has just had the letter, and makes the next step obvious: check your petition, or pick up the phone.
It also had to be easy to run day to day — the firm adding new articles and client testimonials itself, every enquiry landing somewhere it can be followed up, and nothing that needs constant updating behind the scenes.

What this demonstrates
Leaving WordPress without starting again
Moving off WordPress usually means losing something — old links, articles that rank, the habit of posting new ones. Here nothing was left behind: the articles moved with their search text, every old address points to its new page, and the firm still adds its own content. It went live on 28 September 2026.
Inside the site
Beyond the home page
The service page — plain words, one clear next step
Insight — fourteen articles, each with its own page
On a phone
Built for the screen most people use
A director who has just received a petition is often reading on a phone, away from a desk. Every page is designed for that first — readable, tappable, quick to load — then scaled up to a desktop.
