From complex, custom-designed digital experiences to our affordable OpenAdvocate platform, Urban Insight helps legal aid organizations design and develop more accessible, user-friendly websites that facilitate self help for those in need.
Since 2000, Urban Insight has helped legal aid organizations build easy-to-use, accessible websites.
Facing a surge in eviction cases, Stay Housed LA needed to replace an inefficient intake system. Urban Insight built a scalable, accessible platform to streamline legal aid applications. The solution optimized case management, connecting 22,000+ tenants with legal support and serving 1.4 million visitors with critical rights information.
LawHelpNY needed to modernize its aging portal to better serve New Yorkers seeking legal aid. Urban Insight redeveloped the high-performance site, integrating a Legal Directory and LiveHelp chat. The new platform streamlined access to critical resources, empowering users to navigate complex legal issues with speed, clarity, and confidence.
Legal aid groups often lack resources for custom technology. Urban Insight developed Drupal for Legal Aid Websites - DLAW, an open-source Drupal distribution, to bridge this gap. This standardized platform empowers organizations to launch secure, accessible, and mobile-friendly websites quickly, ensuring vulnerable communities can access critical justice resources without barriers.
Facing limited budgets, legal aid groups struggled to maintain effective websites. Urban Insight launched OpenAdvocate, a managed solution powered by Drupal for Legal Aid Websites (DLAW). This affordable platform provides robust tools for content management and accessibility, allowing nonprofits to focus on serving clients rather than managing servers.
Managing a legal aid website shouldn't be that complicated. Urban Insight is the founder and developer of OpenAdvocate. If you are struggling to keep content updated or worrying about accessibility compliance, OpenAdvocate provides the infrastructure you need out of the box.
