What our client says:
“What impressed us most about working with LISI was how they balanced respect for our vision with fresh ideas we hadn’t considered. They improved our website’s backend and the user experience without disrupting our design, and every step of the way, they were organized, responsive, and mindful of our budget and our timeline.”

Supporting a Historic New England Law Firm’s Vision
Founded in 1862, Verrill is a respected New England law firm with more than 150 attorneys serving businesses across a wide range of industries. While their website presented a polished face to the market, the internal experience was cumbersome, requiring the marketing team to engage their vendor for even the most basic updates. Recognizing this inefficiency, Verrill turned to LISI for a solution that would put control back in their hands — without a complete redesign.
WHAT WE DELIVERED
A Tailored Backend Solution
We began by listening closely to Verrill’s priorities: preserve the familiar design while making the website far more manageable. Our team developed an entirely new backend that was intuitive, flexible, and fully accessible to their internal team. From formatting content to updating pages, every process became significantly easier.
Seamless Content Migration
A major component of this project was migrating a substantial volume of content, including attorney biographies, practice area descriptions, industries, and a rich library of news and resources spanning five years. LISI handled this process in its entirety, ensuring accuracy and consistency without disrupting the live website.
Subtle Design Enhancements
While Verrill didn’t want a redesign, we identified opportunities for small but impactful improvements. We refreshed photography, improved layouts, and optimized the site structure to support better user experiences and easier search engine optimization updates. These refinements were carefully integrated to feel cohesive with the existing design.
Responsive, Collaborative Partnership
Throughout the engagement, we maintained close communication with Verrill’s marketing and technology teams. The firm was hands-on and tech-savvy, providing clear direction while trusting our recommendations. Because we were not overhauling the design, we were able to deliver a fully upgraded backend on a condensed timeline before their prior vendor contract expired.

- Substantially improved backend functionality and ease of updates

- Subtle design improvements that elevated the user experience without signaling a relaunch
