Russian Residency

Client vorotagoroda.com / 2025

The client, a Russian legal/immigration consultancy helping foreign nationals with residence permits, work visas, and citizenship, had a website roughly nine years old with the original developer no longer reachable — leaving them unable to update or fix anything. For a business built on trust and expertise, an outdated site actively hurt credibility with prospective clients. I designed and built a full redesign from scratch, restructuring the site around a clear step-by-step process (consultation, preparation, submission, result), a breakdown of services by visa and residency type, transparent pricing, and a blog for ongoing content and SEO. The result replaced the legacy system entirely with something modern and maintainable.

Challenge

The client's existing website was roughly nine years old, badly outdated, and effectively unmaintained - the original developer was no longer reachable, leaving the business unable to update or fix anything. For a legal consultancy whose whole pitch is trust and expertise, an outdated site actively undermined credibility with prospective clients.

Solution

Designed and built a full redesign from the ground up, restructuring the site around a clear step-by-step process (consultation, preparation, submission, result), a breakdown of services by visa/residency type, pricing transparency, and a blog for ongoing SEO and trust-building content. Rebuilt with a modern stack to replace the legacy, unmaintainable system entirely.
