01 · Problem
Fee opacity + forms that are too long
A hot file dies if the site hides fees and asks for a full form before the first talk.
02 · Approach
Business / employment focus, slot first
Practice areas → excl.-VAT fees → consult in a few fields.
03 · Stack
Paper / forest site, trust SEO
Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, optimized images. Vercel noindex demo — client staging.
04 · Outcome
Already-tagged leads, warmer consults
€180 excl. VAT + written note visible; light form.
Takeaways
- →Writing fees builds trust.
- →Fewer fields = more files started.
- →Tagging the topic before the call saves time.
