Client Overview

Client: Minc Law (minclaw.com) — a nationally recognized internet defamation and online content removal law firm.

Agency: A Design Link — New Port Richey, FL

A Design Link has maintained an ongoing design, development, and digital strategy partnership with Minc Law — delivering continuous improvements across their website, CRM infrastructure, and search performance.

Technology Stack

  • CMS: WordPress — custom theme designed and built entirely in-house by A Design Link
  • Page Building: Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and WordPress Gutenberg block editor
  • CRM: HubSpot
  • Hosting: WP Engine dedicated server environment
  • CDN / Security: Cloudflare

Website Design & Development

A Design Link designed and built the Minc Law website from the ground up — no off-the-shelf templates. The site runs on a fully custom WordPress theme powered by ACF field groups and a reusable Gutenberg block library, giving the Minc Law content team the flexibility to manage and scale their own pages without developer involvement.

  • Fully custom WordPress theme
  • ACF-powered content fields across all page templates
  • Reusable Gutenberg block library for scalable page building
  • Mobile-first, responsive design across all device sizes

Hosting & Infrastructure

Minc Law is hosted on a dedicated WP Engine server — isolated from shared hosting environments for consistent reliability and performance. Cloudflare sits in front of the stack for CDN delivery, edge caching, DDoS protection, and DNS management.

  • Dedicated WP Engine server environment
  • Staging environment maintained for safe pre-production testing
  • Cloudflare CDN with custom caching rules for static assets
  • DNS and security managed through Cloudflare

Core Web Vitals — Continuous Performance Optimization

Rather than a one-time performance audit, A Design Link takes a sustained, iterative approach to Core Web Vitals — reviewing metrics monthly and shipping targeted improvements sprint over sprint. All three Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) are currently passing.

  • Layout thrashing elimination and DOM mutation optimization
  • JavaScript bundle analysis and deferred loading strategy
  • Image lazy loading, WebP/AVIF format optimization, and responsive srcset
  • Critical CSS inlining and render-blocking resource elimination
  • INP profiling and front-end interaction diagnostics
  • Cloudflare caching rules tuned for additional performance gains
LCP,  CLS and INP

AEO / SEO Strategy

As AI-powered search tools like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity reshape how people find legal information online, Minc Law’s content strategy was evolved to capture placements in AI-generated answers — not just traditional keyword rankings.

  • Structured data / Schema markup implemented site-wide (FAQ, Article, LegalService, BreadcrumbList, Organization)
  • Table of Contents (TOC) blocks deployed on long-form content for featured snippet capture
  • FAQ sections added to key practice area and service pages
  • Sitemap evaluation and optimization for AI crawler accessibility
  • Competitive SEO / AEO / GEO audit benchmarking against key competitors
  • GTM optimization and tag management improvements

HubSpot CRM — Forms, Workflows & Dashboards

A Design Link architected and implemented a full HubSpot CRM configuration tailored to Minc Law’s client intake process — replacing manual, disconnected workflows with automated, data-driven pipelines.

  • Custom intake forms designed for efficiency and conversion
  • HubSpot workflows automating lead routing, follow-up, and status updates
  • Intake Priority Score property for triaging new inquiries by case value and urgency
  • Custom HubSpot dashboards providing real-time visibility into intake volume and pipeline health
  • CRM data cleaning and region classification logic for contact segmentation
  • HubSpot form lazy-loading implemented for improved page performance
