From Squarespace to Success: How We Transformed Red Stapler Project Into a Lead-Generating Powerhouse

The Red Stapler Project Website Redesign, Rebrand, and Content Strategy Case Study

By Charles Oreve, Founder & CEO of The X Concept
Published: January 10, 2026

The Challenge: A Hidden Gem in Need of Polish

The Starting Point

Red Stapler Project offered something genuinely unique to the legal market: insider knowledge from a 23-year insurance industry veteran who now exclusively helps plaintiff attorneys maximize settlements. Renée’s experience evaluating claims, using Colossus software, and working litigation cases gave her unparalleled insight into how insurance carriers actually value personal injury cases.

But her website didn’t reflect that value.

What Was Working (But Not Well Enough)

The original Squarespace site had:

  • ✓ Basic information about services
  • ✓ Simple contact functionality
  • ✓ Clean, minimalist design
  • ✓ Mobile responsiveness

What Wasn’t Working

However, several critical issues were limiting growth:

1. Limited Conversion Architecture

  • No clear customer journey or conversion funnel
  • Generic calls-to-action that didn’t create urgency
  • Missing lead magnets or value-adds for hesitant prospects
  • No email capture or nurture sequence

2. Weak Brand Identity

  • Logo lacked sophistication for B2B legal market
  • Color palette didn’t convey authority and trust
  • Visual hierarchy wasn’t optimized for scanning
  • Brand messaging was understated and tentative

3. Content That Didn’t Sell

  • Service descriptions were feature-focused, not benefit-driven
  • No compelling origin story or founder narrative
  • Missing social proof and case studies
  • No educational content to demonstrate expertise
  • Unclear value proposition on homepage

4. Platform Limitations

  • Squarespace’s limited SEO capabilities
  • Difficulty adding custom functionality
  • No ability to create member areas or gated content
  • Limited integration options with business tools
  • Ongoing platform costs without ownership benefits

5. Technical SEO Gaps

  • Poor structure for search engine optimization
  • Missing schema markup and technical optimization
  • Limited ability to target specific keywords
  • No blog or content marketing strategy
  • Weak local SEO signals

The Bottom Line

Red Stapler Project had an exceptional service offering but was essentially invisible to its target market. The website was a digital brochure when it needed to be a lead generation engine.

Renée needed more than a redesign—she needed a complete digital transformation.

Our Approach: Strategy Before Design

At The X Concept, we don’t start with design. We start with strategy.

Phase 1: Deep Discovery

Before touching any code or creating any designs, we conducted comprehensive discovery:

Business Model Analysis

  • Target audience: Plaintiff personal injury attorneys in California
  • Service offerings: Case audits, strategic consultation, training
  • Price points: $750-$2,500 per engagement
  • Competition: Few direct competitors with insurance insider experience
  • Unique value proposition: 23 years of actual insurance industry experience

Market Research

  • Analyzed competitor websites in legal consulting space
  • Identified gaps in how similar services were being marketed
  • Researched how plaintiff attorneys search for services
  • Studied visual identity of successful B2B professional services

Audience Psychology

  • What pain points keep plaintiff attorneys up at night?
  • What objections prevent them from hiring consultants?
  • What trust signals do they need to see before engaging?
  • What language resonates with legal professionals?

Content Strategy Planning

  • Identified key messaging themes
  • Mapped out customer journey from awareness to booking
  • Planned content architecture and information hierarchy
  • Developed SEO keyword strategy targeting plaintiff attorney searches

Phase 2: Brand Identity Redesign

With strategy in place, we moved to visual identity.

Logo Redesign

The original logo was simple but didn’t convey the sophistication necessary for the B2B legal market. We created a new brand identity that:

  • Retained the “Red Stapler” concept – The name is memorable and meaningful (referencing “Office Space” and refusing to let bureaucracy strip away humanity)
  • Elevated the sophistication – Professional typography that resonates with attorneys
  • Built in flexibility – Horizontal, vertical, and icon-only versions for various applications
  • Created visual consistency – Logo works across all touchpoints (website, business cards, proposals, presentations)

Color Palette Development

We created a bold, clean palette that commands attention while maintaining professional credibility:

  • Red (#E42C2A) – Bold, confident, memorable – captures attention without being aggressive
  • Black (#000000) – Authority, sophistication, timeless professionalism
  • White (#FFFFFF) – Clean, modern, allows content to breathe
  • Strategic contrast – High-contrast design ensures readability and visual impact

This striking three-color system creates immediate visual recognition while conveying the seriousness and professionalism required in the legal consulting space. The red-white-black combination is both memorable and elegant—standing out in a sea of conservative blue legal websites.

Typography System

Selected Roboto family for its perfect blend of modern professionalism and exceptional readability:

  • Roboto Condensed: Headlines and emphasis – geometric, confident, space-efficient
  • Roboto: Body copy and UI elements – neutral, friendly, highly legible across all devices
  • Hierarchy: Clear visual distinction using weight variations (Light, Regular, Medium, Bold)
  • Accessibility: Designed by Google for optimal screen readability with excellent legibility at all sizes

The Roboto family is a brilliant choice for this project—it’s modern without being trendy, professional without being stiff, and performs beautifully across all devices and screen sizes.

Visual Style Guide

Documented everything:

  • Logo usage guidelines and spacing
  • Color values (hex, RGB, CMYK)
  • Typography specifications
  • Image style and treatment
  • Iconography approach
  • UI element styling

This ensures brand consistency across all future marketing materials.

Phase 3: Platform Migration (Week 2-3)

Why WordPress Over Squarespace?

Many clients ask, “Why can’t we just redesign on Squarespace?” Here’s why WordPress was essential for Red Stapler Project:

1. SEO Superiority

  • WordPress offers dramatically better SEO capabilities
  • Full control over URL structure, meta data, schema markup
  • Advanced plugins for technical SEO optimization
  • Better indexing and search engine performance

2. Ownership and Control

  • Client owns the website completely (not locked into platform)
  • No monthly platform fees (just hosting)
  • Can switch hosts without losing site
  • Full access to code and database

3. Scalability

  • Easy to add e-commerce (for selling digital products like guides)
  • Can create member areas or client portals
  • Unlimited customization potential
  • Integration with any third-party tool

4. Cost Efficiency

  • After initial development, ongoing costs are minimal
  • No increasing platform fees as site grows
  • More cost-effective long-term investment

5. Professional Standards

  • WordPress powers 43% of all websites
  • Preferred by professional services and B2B companies
  • More flexibility for complex business needs

  • Clear differentiation from any competitors
  • SEO foundation for long-term organic growth
  • Content infrastructure ready for ongoing marketing

Key Lessons and Takeaways

1. Strategy Must Come Before Design

The biggest mistake businesses make is jumping straight to “make it look pretty.” We spent significant time understanding:

  • Who the target audience is and what motivates them
  • What pain points the service solves
  • How to differentiate from competitors
  • What objections prevent people from buying

This strategic foundation informed every design and content decision.

2. Content is Your Sales Team

For professional services businesses, your website content IS your sales team. Every page should:

  • Address specific questions or concerns
  • Build authority and credibility
  • Move visitors toward conversion
  • Provide value even if they don’t buy immediately

The Red Stapler Project website provides so much valuable information that visitors trust Renée’s expertise before ever speaking with her.

3. WordPress Wins for Professional Services

For B2B professional services (consultants, attorneys, accountants, etc.), WordPress is almost always the right choice:

  • Better SEO = more visibility = more leads
  • Complete ownership and control
  • Scalability for future growth
  • Integration with business tools
  • Lower long-term costs

Squarespace and Wix are fine for simple brochure sites, but businesses that want to grow need WordPress.

4. Legal Compliance Builds Trust

For businesses handling sensitive information (legal, medical, financial), comprehensive legal pages aren’t optional—they’re essential trust-builders:

  • Privacy Policy shows you take data seriously
  • HIPAA Compliance Statement demonstrates professional standards
  • Terms of Service sets clear expectations
  • NDA template shows you understand confidentiality

These pages might not get tons of traffic, but they’re critically important for professional credibility.

5. Fast Doesn’t Mean Rushed

We completed this project in just 5 days—not 4 weeks, not 2 weeks, but 5 days from kickoff to full launch. This wasn’t rushed or corner-cutting; it was precision execution:

How We Deliver This Quickly:

  • Battle-tested frameworks – Years of refined processes and templates
  • Parallel workflow – Multiple specialists working simultaneously
  • Clear communication – Real-time collaboration, no waiting for meetings
  • Immediate decisions – Client availability for quick approvals
  • Deep platform expertise – WP Engine, WordPress, and tool mastery
  • In-house capabilities – Design, development, content, and SEO all under one roof

What This Speed Means for Clients:

  • Faster time to market and revenue generation
  • Lower costs (less time = lower investment)
  • Maintained momentum and enthusiasm
  • Quick wins build confidence for ongoing partnership

Speed without quality is worthless. Quality without speed is expensive. We deliver both—and that’s what sets The X Concept apart.

6. Think Beyond “Just a Website”

The Red Stapler Project wasn’t just a website redesign—it was a comprehensive digital transformation including:

  • Brand identity evolution
  • Content strategy and creation
  • SEO foundation
  • Conversion optimization
  • Legal compliance documentation
  • Business process integration

This holistic approach creates lasting value far beyond a pretty homepage.

The Technical Stack: Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure

One of the most important decisions in any website project is choosing the right technical foundation. For Red Stapler Project, we implemented an enterprise-grade stack that ensures reliability, security, speed, and scalability.

Hosting: WP Engine Managed WordPress

Why WP Engine?

After working with dozens of hosting providers over 24 years, WP Engine consistently delivers the best combination of performance, security, and support for professional WordPress sites.

Key Benefits:

  • Speed: Built-in CDN and advanced caching deliver sub-2-second page loads globally
  • Security: Automatic updates, malware scanning, and threat blocking
  • Reliability: 99.99% uptime guarantee with redundant infrastructure
  • Backups: Automated daily backups with one-click restore
  • Staging: Test changes safely before pushing to live site
  • Support: WordPress experts available 24/7/365
  • Scalability: Handle traffic spikes without performance degradation

For professional services handling sensitive client information, WP Engine provides peace of mind that the site is always fast, secure, and available.

Email Delivery: Brevo SMTP

The Challenge: WordPress’s default email sending is notoriously unreliable. Contact form submissions, notifications, and system emails often end up in spam or never deliver at all.

The Solution: Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)

What Brevo Provides:

  • Reliable Delivery: Professional SMTP ensures emails reach inboxes, not spam folders
  • Transactional Email: Contact forms, notifications, password resets all delivered reliably
  • Real-time Monitoring: Track delivery status and troubleshoot any issues immediately
  • Excellent Reputation: Brevo’s IP addresses have strong sender reputation
  • Easy Integration: Simple WordPress plugin setup with straightforward configuration

Result: Contact form submissions are delivered instantly and reliably. No more lost leads due to email delivery failures.

Marketing Automation: Mailchimp ESP

For newsletter and marketing campaigns, we integrated Mailchimp:

Key Features Implemented:

  • Embedded Signup Forms: Throughout the site to capture newsletter subscribers
  • Automated Welcome Sequence: New subscribers receive immediate value
  • Segmentation Capability: Target specific attorney types or practice areas
  • Campaign Analytics: Track opens, clicks, and conversions
  • Integration with Website: Seamless data flow between site and ESP

Why Mailchimp? It’s user-friendly, feature-rich, and has excellent deliverability. Renée can manage her email marketing independently without technical expertise.

Spam Protection: Cloudflare Turnstile

The Problem: Traditional CAPTCHAs (like reCAPTCHA) frustrate legitimate users and can reduce form conversions by 10-30%.

The Solution: Cloudflare Turnstile

Why Turnstile is Superior:

  • Invisible Protection: Works in the background without user interaction
  • Privacy-Friendly: Doesn’t track users or collect personal data like Google reCAPTCHA
  • Better UX: No “select all traffic lights” puzzles annoying potential clients
  • Highly Effective: Blocks 99%+ of bot spam while allowing real humans through
  • Fast: Doesn’t slow down form submission
  • Free: No cost, no limits

Result: Red Stapler Project’s contact forms are protected from spam without creating friction for potential clients. Conversion rates are preserved while spam is eliminated.

Typography: Roboto Family

Font Selection Rationale:

Roboto Condensed (Headlines, Emphasis)

  • Geometric, modern design conveys professionalism
  • Space-efficient allowing more impactful headlines
  • Strong visual presence without being aggressive
  • Excellent legibility even at display sizes

Roboto (Body Copy, UI Elements)

  • Designed by Google specifically for screen readability
  • Neutral, friendly tone perfect for professional services
  • Extensive weight variations (Light, Regular, Medium, Bold)
  • Excellent rendering across all devices and operating systems
  • Open-source and free to use

Why This Combination Works:

  • Cohesive: Both from the same family, ensuring visual harmony
  • Flexible: Multiple weights provide clear hierarchy
  • Performance: Web-optimized fonts load quickly
  • Accessibility: Highly legible for all users, including those with visual impairments
  • Modern: Contemporary feel without being trendy or dated

Color Palette: Red, White, Black

Strategic Color Decisions:

Red (#DC143C – Crimson)

  • Attention-grabbing: Stands out in a sea of conservative blue legal websites
  • Energy & Confidence: Conveys boldness and decisive action
  • Memorable: Creates strong brand recognition
  • Psychological Impact: Associated with importance, urgency, and passion

Black (#000000)

  • Authority: Conveys seriousness and professionalism
  • Sophistication: Timeless, elegant, premium positioning
  • Contrast: Creates clear visual hierarchy with white and red
  • Readability: High contrast ensures accessibility

White (#FFFFFF)

  • Clean: Modern, uncluttered aesthetic
  • Breathing Room: Allows content and design to shine
  • Professional: Medical and legal associations
  • Accessibility: High contrast ratios meet WCAG standards

Why This Palette Works:

  • Distinctive: Most legal/professional services use blue—red makes Red Stapler Project stand out
  • High Contrast: Excellent readability and accessibility
  • Versatile: Works across all marketing materials and touchpoints
  • Timeless: Won’t look dated in 5-10 years
  • Brand Alignment: Bold and confident, matching Renée’s approach

This limited three-color palette creates immediate visual recognition while maintaining sophistication and professionalism.

When Renée Soileau first contacted The X Concept about redesigning her consulting website, she had a clear vision but limited digital presence. Her Squarespace site functioned adequately, but it wasn’t capturing the full value of her unique expertise or converting visitors into consulting clients.

What started as a simple website migration became a comprehensive transformation—complete platform migration from Squarespace to WordPress, full graphic rebranding, strategic content development, and conversion optimization. The result? A professional, high-converting website that positions Red Stapler Project as the premier authority in insurance claims consulting for plaintiff attorneys.

Here’s how we did it—and what your business can learn from this transformation.

Final Thoughts

The Red Stapler Project redesign demonstrates what happens when strategic thinking meets expert execution. In just 5 days, we transformed a basic Squarespace site into a professional, high-converting WordPress website that positions the business as the clear authority in its niche.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Professional brand identity that builds immediate trust
  • Comprehensive content that sells services 24/7
  • SEO foundation for long-term organic growth
  • Multiple conversion paths for different visitor types
  • Legal compliance that demonstrates professionalism
  • Complete ownership and control of digital assets

But more importantly, we delivered a business asset that will generate value for years to come.

If your website is holding your business back instead of driving it forward, it’s time for a transformation. Let’s talk about how The X Concept can help you achieve similar results.

Your business deserves a website that works as hard as you do.
