Key Differences
What Actually Matters When Choosing
Design Heritage + Modern Technology
PaperStreet built their reputation on award-winning legal web design. That design expertise is real. Grind Flame matches premium design quality and adds AI-powered intake, case-value attribution, and deeper channel integration. Beautiful sites that also work as case acquisition machines.
AI Converts Design Traffic Into Cases
Award-winning websites attract and impress visitors. AI-powered intake converts those impressed visitors into qualified consultations. When a potential client admires your firm's website at midnight, Grind Flame's AI engages them immediately instead of hoping they fill out a contact form.
Case-Value Attribution Beyond Design Metrics
Design agencies measure engagement, time on site, and aesthetics. Grind Flame measures signed retainers and case values. Both matter. But knowing which design elements and which campaigns produce the highest-value cases transforms how you invest in marketing.
Evolved From Design to Full System
PaperStreet evolved from web design to full digital marketing. Grind Flame was built as a full system from day one. The difference matters: bolt-on services versus an integrated platform where every channel reinforces every other channel.

FAQ
Common Questions
Is PaperStreet good at law firm web design?
Yes. PaperStreet has a strong portfolio of award-winning legal websites. They've evolved to offer full digital marketing. If design heritage and visual quality are your priority, they deliver.
How does Grind Flame's design compare?
We build premium, fully custom websites focused on both aesthetics and conversion engineering. The design quality matches — the difference is AI intake, case-value attribution, and deeper channel integration built in from day one.
Why not just get the best design?
Great design matters. But a beautiful website without AI intake, case-value tracking, and multi-channel marketing is like a luxury storefront on an empty street. You need both: beautiful design AND the systems to fill it with cases.
Has PaperStreet evolved beyond just design?
Yes. They now offer SEO, PPC, and content marketing. Grind Flame was built as an integrated system rather than adding services over time. The difference is between bolt-on expansion and purpose-built integration.
