The Challenge
Two parties. One coordinated process.
TexMediator needed a professional online presence for a new Texas mediation practice led by attorney and mediator Hugh Howerton. The website had to establish trust, explain his experience and pricing clearly, and make it easy for attorneys to move from evaluating the mediator to requesting a date.
The operational side was just as important. A mediation may involve two parties, multiple attorneys, case documents, a shared meeting date, separate payment responsibilities, and a virtual Zoom session. A generic contact form would leave too much of that process to manual email follow-up.
THE GOAL
The goal was one connected client journey: understand the service, select the right mediation, provide case details, coordinate the Zoom session, and handle payment without losing the personal feel of Hugh's practice.

From Concept to Identity
The logo behind the practice.
Hugh brought three early concepts exploring Texas imagery, scales, and different color palettes. Renatus developed the finished tower-and-scales logo and brought it into the custom website and client communications.

The Solution
The full mediation process, connected.
Renatus handled the public-facing brand and website together with the connected systems behind scheduling, intake, separate-party payments, and virtual mediation over Zoom.
Scheduling & Case Intake
Configured mediation appointment types, advance-notice rules, availability, detailed intake questions, additional contacts, case information, and supporting document upload.
Calendar & Zoom Virtual Mediation
Connected the booking workflow with calendar availability and automated Zoom meeting creation so confirmed mediations can move into Hugh's working calendar and virtual meeting process.
Separate-Party Payment Workflow
Built a Stripe-connected workflow that uses the scheduling information to support a separate invoice for the second party instead of forcing one law firm to cover the entire mediation fee.

The Client Journey
One clear path from research to confirmation.
The experience was organized around what attorneys need to know and do—not around disconnected software tools.
Review the Practice
Attorneys can understand Hugh's experience, approach, services, pricing, cancellation policy, and available mediation formats.
Select & Request
The booking experience guides the attorney to the appropriate mediation type, date, and time while respecting calendar rules.
Provide Case Details
Structured intake captures counsel, parties, cause number, court, additional contacts, notes, and relevant documents.
Pay Separately & Meet on Zoom
Each party follows its own payment steps. Confirmations and calendar details provide the information to join one shared virtual mediation session over Zoom.
The Outcome
A professional practice with a connected digital front door.
TexMediator now has a live, mobile-friendly website that turns a complicated professional-service workflow into a clear experience. Attorneys can evaluate the practice, understand pricing, submit organized case information, schedule a mediation, and receive the next steps through one branded system.
- Professional visual identity and custom website
- Clear service, pricing, and policy information
