Law firm website redesign: what to plan when moving from WordPress
A website redesign changes more than its appearance. It affects who updates the content and how existing URLs are handled. Before work begins, a law firm should decide what the new site will publish, who can change it, and which pages need a matching destination.
Inventory the current site first
List the pages, files, contact forms, and links in use. Decide what to keep, revise, or retire. When a URL changes, identify the most relevant new destination and plan the redirect before launch.
Design for visitors and editors
Visitors need to find practice areas and a clear way to get in touch. Editors need a practical way to keep that information current. Identify frequently updated pages, publishing responsibilities, and approval steps. Use those needs to define the CMS, including control over search titles and descriptions. Keep ranking expectations separate from the migration plan.
What should the SEO migration checklist cover?
Before launch, check the old-to-new URL map, redirects, titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, internal links, sitemap, and forms. Then verify the live pages and monitor Search Console. A technically sound migration does not by itself prove a gain in search visibility.
Agree on handover and maintenance
Source code and repository access, testing, and deployment are typical deliverables in Codiatech web projects; maintenance depends on the project. For Bayraktar Attorneys and Legisterra Hukuk ve Danışmanlık, Codiatech migrated the sites from WordPress to .NET and Next.js, refreshed the design, carried out SEO work, and integrated its CMS.
These are confirmed descriptions of the work, not measured traffic or ranking gains. Each new project needs its own content inventory and migration plan.
