A look at the work
LeGrande Law’s public website, captured October 24, 2026. This case study covers hosting, PHP runtime work, and Redis caching. View full size ↗Visit website ↗
The challenge
Combine a maintainable law-firm website with an operating environment suited to ongoing publishing.
What shipped
Reusable search, testimonial, and latest-post components support publishing, alongside PHP runtime and Redis object-cache work.
LeGrande website development combines client-facing WordPress components with the operating environment behind them. The engagement includes the custom theme, PHP runtime work and Redis object caching.
Website development and the environment behind it
LeGrande Law combines a custom legal website with ongoing infrastructure work. I developed the Genesis child theme and its reusable content components, then supported the PHP runtime and Redis object-cache layer on DigitalOcean.
Components for a publishing workflow
The theme includes homepage presentation, search, testimonials, and latest-post blocks. Each supports a different route through the firm’s content: direct service information, a specific search, supporting client feedback, or recent articles.
Keeping those pieces reusable makes the website’s presentation consistent while allowing the content itself to change. The implementation separates the firm’s publishing needs from the underlying theme code.
Maintaining the platform as well as the pages
The engagement includes PHP runtime upgrades and Redis object caching. Those are operating concerns beneath the visible site, and they matter to keeping an established WordPress implementation maintainable over time.
A search component or article block belongs to the publishing experience, while runtime and cache changes belong to application operation. This engagement brings both responsibilities into the same website context.
