Phase-1 Legal Website Launch

I’m ready to roll out the first public version of our legal-services platform as a responsive website (desktop and mobile). This phase is strictly web-only—no mobile app, no full platform rebuild—yet the code you ship must be clean, modular, and easy to extend for later phases.

Core requirements
• Homepage that instantly communicates professionalism through a modern, uncluttered layout.
• Category pages for Family, Criminal, Civil/Property, Business (this one takes visual priority), Documentation, Registration, Challan, and an “Ask a Lawyer” section.
• Lead-capture built around a simple contact form; keep the fields lightweight so users aren’t scared off, but structure the backend so data can feed a future CRM with minimal refactor.
• Traffic-challan lookup that pulls real-time data—an official API is ideal, but smart scraping with robust error handling is acceptable if an endpoint isn’t available.
• Automated legal-news feed that refreshes without manual input.
• Ask-a-Lawyer Q&A intake (submission only at this stage; no live chat required).

Acceptance criteria
1. Fully responsive across the latest Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
2. Lighthouse performance score 85+ on both mobile and desktop.
3. Code comments and a concise README for deployment.
4. Staging link delivered within 14 days; final hand-off inside four weeks.

When you reply, please point me to comparable legal-service or lead-gen sites you’ve built, outline how you’ll architect the contact-form pipeline, and note any past work involving API integration or web scraping. The clearer your plan, the faster we can move.
