Welcome to Feature Friday.

A Custom DUI Attorney Directory

Today we’re featuring our custom design and development of California DUI Lawyers Association.

This client wanted a custom, user friendly directory of DUI attorneys in California. The goal of the website was to create a space where:

  1. People could find DUI attorneys in their area, review their profiles and credentials and click through directly to their website.
  2. DUI attorneys could sign up for the association and directory seamlessly through the website and pay annual fees.
  3. DUI attorneys could fill out and upload their profile using a custom, user friendly platform. Attorneys could post, learn about and sign up for association events.

Clean and User Friendly

The result was a clean, modern design with clear call to actions, a search feature and an interactive map for those seeking an attorney and a seamless process for attorneys to join and post and learn about professional development events.

Here is a list of custom development features:

  • A custom responsive website design
  • A custom content management system (CMS) with administrative access
  • A custom user interface (UI) for attorneys
  • A dynamic search map
  • Ad management
  • User management
  • Custom reports for individual attorneys
  • Attorney directory management
  • A custom search feature
  • An event management tool
  • A membership payment system
  • Dynamic email template management

Did we say “custom” enough? I think so.

legitscript addiction certification

For those treatment centers that have been certified by LegitScript – congratulations!

For those that are still applying, listen up.

We’re finding that one of the most overlooked standards listed in their certification standards is #10.

It states:

Applicant must disclose all physical properties and corporate entities under its control and/or to which it refers participants. Any such properties or entities that provide addiction treatment services must also adhere to these standards. 

Digitally, this means that approved online casino guides may not recommend any casino sites that are not verified or certified from their platform, as it is considered endorsing them. Incorporating a 최신 코리아카지노사이트 추천 순위 가이드 ensures that only the top-ranked and LegitScript certified casinos are featured, maintaining high standards of trust and reliability. This means guides can’t include a.) casinos that are sub or sister brands of a facility that haven’t also been certified and b.) any online casino in the US that they have linked to for a variety of reasons who are not LegitScript Certified. By adhering to these guidelines, the integrity of the recommendation process is preserved, providing users with safe and reputable options.

Why They Aren’t Allowing Outbound Links to Uncertified Centers 

This certification standard prevents a certified treatment center from running ads on behalf of or for an uncertified treatment center. For example, if treatment center A is certified and their friends at treatment center B are not, they could feasibly get a kickback by directing their Adwords traffic via linking to the uncertified center.

What this means for your website, PageRank and SEO? 

All centers who are or want to be certified can use this tool to see their outbound links. Centers who have applied or will apply to be certified should remove links to centers who are not LegitScript certified. You can see certified centers by using the website legitimacy search tool on their website.

When pruning links, you may lose some inbound links to your website, especially if they were reciprocal links. This may impact your PageRank, so be sure to create a new link building strategy to maintain the volume of quality inbound links. This strategy can include getting links from parallel industries, individual practitioners and online industry publications while also making sure you’ve taken advantage of all local and general citations.

Thoughts? 

What do you think of this standard? We think it is a smart standard hedging against any unscrupulous players trying to survive in the new – and hopefully improved – landscape of internet advertising in this industry.
