Website Revamp

Hey Austin — thanks so much for following up! I really appreciate you reaching out. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately — especially with how much I’ve been working on my oil-and-gas litigation cases, and how much time I’ve been spending on the new client portal. Honestly, I’ve been wanting to refresh that site for a while now. It’s been running on that old WordPress template from 2015, and I’ve started noticing how hard it is to manage the case documentation and client access. I actually just finished a long lunch at a new Tex-Mex place near the Houston airport — tried that place with the flaming tortillas, and honestly, it reminded me of how much I miss having someone to share a meal with. I’ve been living alone most of the year, and it’s been good to just sit and eat something hot and messy sometimes. So, just to confirm — are we still going with the full revamp, including the new mobile-responsive design and client login portal? And do you need any specific details from me about the current site structure? I’d also be happy to provide access to the existing admin panel if that would help. Also, do you have a timeline in mind for the next steps? I’m currently in a bit of a legal filing window, so I’d hate to delay anything that could affect the workflow. Looking forward to your thoughts! Sent from my iPhone Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Hi Austin, Thanks so much for getting back to me—really appreciate it! I’ve been meaning to finally update my site since the last redesign felt a bit outdated, especially with how much things have changed in the oil and gas space lately. I remember when I first started working on that portfolio, I was still running my own drilling contract reviews from my kitchen table in Houston—now it’s all digital, and honestly, the website needs to reflect that evolution. I’m actually just about to move into a new office space in East Houston next month, so the site would be a great way to showcase my work and even share some of the real-life cases I’ve handled over the years. Could you let me know what the typical timeline is for the mockup designs? I’m wondering if we can schedule a call next week—maybe Thursday? Also, do you have any sample mockups from similar professionals in the energy sector? I’d love to see how it might look before we finalize anything. And just as a quick aside—my dog, Biscuit, just got his license renewed, and he’s now officially “Biscuit, Licensed Oil Field Dog” (though I still haven’t figured out how to get him on the site). Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Danny Smith Sent from my iPad Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Hi Austin, Thanks so much for your patience — I really appreciate it. I’m glad to hear you’re still moving forward with the website revamp. I’ve been working on a few oil-and-gas litigation cases lately, and honestly, I’ve been thinking more about how visuals can actually help explain complex legal concepts — like how a well’s pressure curve works. Maybe that’s where this website design comes in? I’d love to see how you’re planning to approach the mobile view, especially since I know a lot of people access legal content on their phones. Just to clarify — are we finalizing a timeline for the design phase, or is there a rough schedule you’re working with? Also, do you have any specific branding colors or tone in mind? I’m thinking more of clean, professional, and trustworthy — like the kind of look I’d expect from a serious business that’s making decisions in the field. And lastly, I’ve been trying to get more involved in local community events — like the Houston energy roundtable this past weekend — so if you’re open to it, maybe we could even have a quick call or two to go over a few mockups? Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Danny Smith 43, Houston, TX Sent from my iPad Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415
