Alliant Disability

A Bricks build for a Social Security Disability law firm, with a free case-evaluation form in the hero and the firm's hearing-room track record up top, so a worried first-time claimant can start in one screen.

The brief

People arrive here worried, and short on time

Alliant Disability is a law firm that does one thing: represent people in Social Security Disability claims, SSDI and SSI, on contingency, so the client pays nothing unless benefits are awarded. It is based in Orlando and takes cases nationwide.

Most visitors land here after a denial, or with a new diagnosis that means it is time to apply. The site had to earn trust quickly, show the firm's track record in front of administrative law judges, explain a confusing process in plain steps, and make starting a free case evaluation the obvious next move, ideally without leaving the first screen.

What I did

A hero built to convert, and a process explained plainly.

  • Bricks build with the free case-evaluation form in the hero, so the main action needs no scroll
  • A credibility strip up top: ALJ hearings attended, briefs authored, years of practice, $0 upfront
  • A service block for every stage, from the initial SSDI application to ALJ hearing representation
  • A plain-language "how it works" in four steps, for people new to the disability process
  • Client stories, contingency-fee disclosures and an SMS-consent notice wired into the form
  • Attorney, LegalService and FAQ schema, metadata and Open Graph for search and shares
Speed proof

Desktop is solid. Mobile needs a round of work.

An honest read on the numbers

Desktop Performance is 85, with First Contentful Paint at 0.7 s, Total Blocking Time at 30 ms and a perfect zero layout shift. Best Practices scores 100 on both desktop and mobile.

Straight talk: mobile Performance is 63. Layout stability and script execution are fine, the problem is paint time. The full-bleed hero photo and the embedded case-evaluation form both load above the fold, and on a throttled phone connection that pushes Largest Contentful Paint to 7.4 s. The fix is a lighter mobile hero, a deferred form mount and trimming the third-party trust widget. It is scoped, and it is the next task on this site.

Outcome

What it does now

The site leads with the case-evaluation form and the firm's hearing-room numbers, walks a first-time claimant through the process in four steps, and keeps a free consultation one tap away on every screen. Desktop performance is where I want it. The mobile paint-time work is scoped and scheduled.
