The Construction Law Section of the State Bar of Texas serves more than 2,000 attorneys who practice construction law across the state. Its website is where members find section news, The Change Order newsletter, webinars and each other.
Think Cre8tive rebuilt constructionlawsection.org on WordPress, launched in September 2026.
The challenge
The section's previous website ran on older technology that was difficult to maintain and secure. Members needed a modern site, and the section needed member information handled with care. That meant a private, members-only experience that keeps personal details private.
What we built
- A modern, mobile-friendly public site for section news, leadership, events and membership information.
- A secure members-only portal. Members sign in to reach the directory, webinar library, newsletter archive and file collection.
- A private member directory. Members can search by name, firm and city, while sensitive details stay visible only to the member who owns them.
- Simple, secure sign-in. Members set their own passwords on first login, with no passwords ever sent by email.
- Clean membership management. Each new member list from the section updates access accurately, so current members get in and lapsed memberships expire.
- Preserved history. Years of The Change Order newsletter were carried over, with old links redirected so nothing breaks.
The result
Texas construction lawyers now have a modern, secure home for their section, and section staff have a site that is far easier to manage.
"Associations run on trust," said Chris Wielinski, Managing Partner at Think Cre8tive. "We built the Construction Law Section a portal that makes it easy for members to connect while protecting their information."
