PROBLEM STATEMENT
Martindale-Nolo’s services are currently listed within subpages of the Nolo site. Users rarely access this information due to it being within the footer menu of the site leading to very few page views. Back end users want to be able to make regular updates to the content without going through the Nolo team to do so.
How might we create a robust site that encourages lawyers to establish an online presence while developing a seamless back end experience?
