Client context

Pagano Law had an outdated Divi-based website that was difficult to maintain, slower than necessary, and tied to an unnecessarily expensive hosting setup. The project involved a complete redesign and a fresh Bricks Builder development, while also consolidating hosting, domains, email, and website services into a single provider. The result was a faster, easier-to-manage website and approximately $1,000 in annual infrastructure savings.
