Maximilien Fourt website, criminal lawyer — Paris

The context

A criminal law firm, an international clientele

The firm is dedicated to criminal law and serves both French and international clients. The website had to reflect the firm’s seriousness, respond to criminal emergencies at any hour, and speak to French and English speakers alike.

The main challenge was visibility: the project was run in tandem with our SEO partner, who defined the site structure, keywords and content. Our job was to deliver a website that makes the most of that work.

What we built

A complete website, from the first screen to the last page

Criminal emergency

A dedicated page, reachable day and night, for situations where every minute counts.

Practice area pages

Each practice area has a detailed page, structured for readers and for Google alike.

Bilingual French / English

Two complete versions of the website, to welcome every visitor, and every Google search, in their own language.

Testimonials & press

Client reviews and media appearances, showcased to strengthen the firm’s credibility.

Custom design

A sober, elegant art direction, inspired by the places of justice in Paris.

SEO-ready foundation

Heading structure, meta tags, URLs and internal linking delivered exactly to the SEO partner’s recommendations.

Performance

Fast pages so the SEO pays off

Good content isn’t enough if the page is slow to load. We built a lightweight website: custom code with no superfluous theme, resized and compressed images, optimised fonts, lazy loading of everything that isn’t visible.

This speed improves the experience for visitors in a hurry, but it also counts among Google’s ranking criteria. Our SEO partner’s work thus rests on foundations that never hold it back.
