Law firm hosting where the intake form is treated as evidence.
Most of a law firm site is publishing. The part that matters is the enquiry form, which routinely collects documents and details that should never have been sitting in a public upload directory or an unread inbox.
Everything a firm's website asks of a host.
A fast brochure site with one high-stakes workflow running through it, and the workflow is where the configuration goes.
Uploaded documents are not public files
A contract, a letter or a scan attached to an enquiry lands in a path that cannot be listed or guessed, and is retrieved through a signed link rather than a permanent URL.
Submissions recorded before they are emailed
The database entry is written first and the notification follows. A mail provider having a bad hour delays the alert rather than discarding the enquiry.
Forms excluded from the cache
A cached form page serves an expired nonce, and the visitor sees a rejection with no explanation. Form URLs stay dynamic while the rest of the site serves from the edge.
A retention window that exists
Old submissions and their attachments are not kept forever by default. Retention is a setting rather than an accident of nobody having deleted anything yet.
Publishing that stays quick
Articles, guides and practice-area pages are static once rendered and served from the edge, which is most of the site and most of the traffic.
Staging for a rebrand
A firm redesign changes navigation and every practice-area URL at once. Do it on a clone and check the redirects before anything moves.
Know where the sensitive data is.
On a firm's site the risk is rarely the theme. It is a directory of attachments nobody remembers configuring and a form plugin that was never given a retention rule.
- One-click admin login, no shared passwords
- Per-site resource and storage view
- Plugin and core updates with per-item status
- Restore any daily backup from the dashboard
A practice-area page, served from the edge.
The public half of a firm's site is entirely cacheable, which is why the tuning that matters is all on the form rather than on the pages.
What we change for a law firm site
These differ from a standard WordPress site on the same plan, and each follows from one form collecting material that the rest of the site never touches.
| Setting | What we do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment storage | Outside the publicly listable upload paths, retrieved through signed links | The default upload directory is a web-readable folder, so a client's scanned document is one guessed filename away from being public and nothing in WordPress warns about it. |
| Submission ordering | Database record written before the notification email is attempted | When the send is what commits the enquiry, an unreachable mail provider does not delay the lead, it deletes it and leaves no record that it existed. |
| Form page caching | Excluded, while articles and practice-area pages stay cached | A cached form carries a nonce that has already expired, which rejects genuine submissions and is indistinguishable from a broken site to the person filling it in. |
| Retention | An explicit window for submissions and attachments | Form plugins keep everything by default, so a firm accumulates years of confidential attachments that nobody decided to keep and nobody knows are there. |
| Redirect handling | Practice-area URL changes mapped before launch | Firm rebrands rename every service page at once, and the traffic those pages earned is lost at the moment the old addresses stop resolving. |

Where do documents attached to an enquiry actually go?
We lost an enquiry when our email provider had an outage. Can that be prevented?
Why do some form submissions get rejected for no reason?
How long are old submissions kept?
