Legally On The Move
Full-stack Developer · Kensiweb
Multilingual website for migrant legal advice, built with Astro, Tailwind CSS and GSAP. 3 languages supported, +75% more inquiries than the previous site, 0.9s load time.
01. The challenge
Legally On The Move provides legal advice to migrants in the United States. Their previous site was outdated, not mobile-friendly, and only in English — even though most of their clients speak Spanish. They needed a complete redesign: multilingual (English, Spanish and Portuguese), accessible, fast, and with a simplified inquiry form that reduced friction for people already in a vulnerable situation.
02. Creative process
A. Context and requirements
I interviewed the founding attorney to understand the client profile: migrating people who need clear, fast answers in their own language. The priority was removing barriers: language, slow loading and complex forms.
B. Inclusive design
I designed an interface prioritizing clarity: large typography, universal iconography, translations visible with one click. Every page was designed with users who have low digital literacy in mind.
C. Development with Astro + GSAP
Astro enabled generating ultra-fast static pages with built-in i18n. GSAP was used for smooth animations that guide attention without distracting. Tailwind CSS kept the design consistent across all 3 languages.
D. Validation and deploy
I tested the inquiry form with real users to ensure it was intuitive. I set up a global CDN to serve content close to users in the US and Latin America. Image and resource optimization for the lowest possible latency.
03. Final outcome
The new site generated a +75% increase in inquiries over the previous one. 0.9-second load time and 3-language support removed the main barriers to entry. The attorney reported that clients arrive with more information and more specific questions, making initial consultations more productive.
