Web design for lawyers and law firms
A law firm’s website is often the first real contact with a potential client — before the first phone call. It needs to communicate authority immediately, stay within professional conduct rules, and turn visits into qualified inquiries.
The challenges specific to a law firm website
- 01Professional conduct rules — legal advertising has specific constraints on what can be communicated and how, different from any other sector
- 02Authority perceived within seconds — someone searching for a lawyer online decides quickly whether to trust you or go back to searching
- 03Clear practice areas — a site that lists “everything” communicates less credibility than one that precisely segments practice areas
- 04A contact form that converts without being intrusive, in a sector where the first contact is often sensitive
What I build
- 01A site built on the same technical SEO foundation used to grow real platforms — not just designed to look good
- 02Structure organised by practice area, designed to capture specific searches beyond a generic «lawyer» search
- 03Design that communicates authority without relying on generic stock-photo imagery
- 04Structured data (schema markup) for law firm/professional, for correct presence in local results too
Frequently asked questions
How long does the build take?
A law firm site typically takes 4-8 weeks from briefing to launch, including time to properly define the practice areas to segment.
Will the site respect professional conduct rules?
Yes — structure and content are built with legal advertising constraints in mind from the design stage, not adjusted afterwards.
Can I update the content myself after delivery?
It depends on the platform chosen for the project — I evaluate that case by case based on the site’s needs and your preferences for managing it, and we discuss it clearly before starting.
