#Sole practitioner law firm in Wroclaw: migration, SSL, and email delivery

A technical delivery carried out for a sole practitioner law firm in Wroclaw. In accordance with professional ethics rules governing Polish advocates, identifying names and domain details are anonymized, keeping the focus entirely on verifiable engineering facts.

The primary objective was migrating the existing WordPress site to a reliable hosting platform, securing sensitive client communications with an SSL certificate, and resolving email deliverability issues, an essential communication channel for court and client filings.

#Technical Scope of Delivery

The project comprised four key engineering tasks:

  1. Clean WordPress Migration: Moving the MySQL database and file system to a modern hosting setup while maintaining all existing URLs, metadata, and content structure.
  2. SSL Certificate & Security Headers: Enforcing HTTPS sitewide, redirecting unencrypted traffic, and setting appropriate headers to protect contact form interactions.
  3. Business Email & DNS Configuration: Setting up correct MX, SPF, and DKIM records to prevent legal correspondence from landing in spam folders and maximize delivery rates.
  4. Pre-Launch QA & Theme Fixes: Resolving layout glitches in the custom theme, ensuring mobile responsiveness across screens, and verifying end-to-end inquiry submission.

#Engineering Challenges and Solutions

Working for a solo legal practice requires strict communication uptime and confidentiality:

  • Zero Mail Downtime: DNS cutover was executed with short TTL windows, ensuring inbound emails arrived without interruptions throughout the migration.
  • Inquiry Form Reliability: Form handling was validated against spam filtering and tested to guarantee immediate notification delivery to the advocate inbox.
  • Lean Runtime: Unnecessary tracking and background scripts were removed, improving response times for clients seeking immediate legal support.

The outcome is a secure, stable, and low-maintenance website supporting day-to-day legal practice operations.

What scope did the Sole Practitioner Law Firm (Wroclaw) project cover?#
Sole Practitioner Law Firm sits in the Websites category and was first delivered in 2015. The entities behind it are WordPress, MySQL, PHP and Nginx.
How did delivery run for Sole Practitioner Law Firm (Wroclaw)?#
The build ran about two weeks and went live in 2015. It sits on WordPress, MySQL, PHP and Nginx. The layout came from the client. I built the templates and the content model against it, then checked the paths that carry traffic on a copy of production rather than on an empty install.
What was the hardest technical part of Sole Practitioner Law Firm (Wroclaw)?#
Holding WordPress, MySQL, PHP and Nginx together took the most care. Content, configuration and code stay in separate layers, so a rollback after launch moves one of them and not all three. Edge cases surface on a production copy, which is why the checks run there.
What part of Sole Practitioner Law Firm could be reused on another build?#
WordPress, MySQL, PHP and Nginx is the part that carries over; that layer looks much the same on the next build. What does not carry over is this project's content model and its integrations, written against one client's data for a Websites brief. A second build starts from a scope review, and the quote follows it.
