Casebound is an HTML website template for private investigation firms serving counsel, businesses and individuals. Its 27 pages help visitors understand investigative services, explore a practice's approach to factual reporting and prepare an appropriate first inquiry. Dedicated audience guidance, reporting examples and coverage information give a firm a detailed starting point for its website.

Architectural frames, field notes and carefully organized documents shape the design. A broad wordmark, original case-file mark, photography and layered color gradients establish the identity. Manrope text pairs with IBM Plex Mono annotations, while report folios and timelines carry the character into the inner pages. The fictional Sacramento practice can be adapted to your own services and region.

Explain the work your practice offers

Records research, witness interviews, field documentation and due diligence each have a dedicated page combining service scope, photography and practical next steps. Separate paths for counsel, businesses and private matters help visitors find relevant guidance, while audience filters make the service overview easier to explore.

The engagement process, fees and professional standards pages explain what happens around an assignment. Coverage pages organize local and regional work, and the practice profile gives a firm space to describe its approach.

Make reporting and first contact easier to understand

An annotated sample report connects observations, sources and limitations. Its interactive sections and 2 illustrative scenarios show how a commercial question or civil timeline becomes a defined research and reporting task. A preparation checklist and expandable questions help visitors decide what to ask before making contact.

The inquiry guides visitors through a broad category, general region and safe contact preferences without requesting sensitive evidence or a case narrative. It includes validation, editable review, pending feedback, a receipt and recovery states. The default demonstration completes locally without sending information; a documented live mode connects to a buyer-owned receiving service.

Accessibility features

Semantic landmarks, a skip link, structured headings and image alternatives support navigation and reading. Disclosure menus, report tabs and form controls work with a keyboard and include visible focus treatments. Form fields have associated labels and errors, and validation reveals the relevant inquiry step before focusing the field that needs attention.

Reduced-motion preferences are respected. Responsive layouts preserve reading order across narrow and wide screens, while native expandable questions and navigation remain useful without JavaScript.

Make the practice your own

The project uses semantic HTML, modern CSS and vanilla JavaScript. Business details, metadata, appearance and media records have clear editing locations. Shared layouts and partials keep repeated content consistent, while directly editable pages let a practice explain its own methods and coverage.

The ready-made website works on static hosting without a framework or CMS. The guide and build commands support changes to the business identity, services, photographs, colors and inquiry integration.
