ConceptWhat you get
Built for how clients actually choose a lawyer
Credibility on arrival
Prospective clients judge a firm in seconds. Practice areas, credentials, and results, presented with the restraint the profession expects.
Consultations booked
A clear, discreet path to a first consultation on every page — because a nervous client will not go looking for your contact page.
Built for the phone
Most legal searches happen on a mobile, often urgently. Click-to-call and directions are always one tap away.
Found for the right cases
A page per practice area, structured properly, so you rank for the matters you actually want — not the ones you don’t.
ApproachFour principles behind
Four principles behind
every legal site I build
Legal web design fails in predictable ways. These are the decisions that separate a site that gets read from one that gets closed.
01
Trust is the entire conversion
A client choosing a lawyer is making one of the more consequential decisions of their year, frequently under stress. Everything on the site — the photography, the typography, the clarity of the writing — is either building confidence or quietly draining it.
02
One page per practice area
Firms that list eight practice areas on a single page rank for none of them. A proper page for each, written for the person searching that specific problem, is the single highest-return structural decision in legal web design.
03
Say what happens next
People hesitate to contact a lawyer because they do not know what it commits them to, or what it costs. Stating plainly what a first consultation involves removes the most common reason a visitor closes the tab.
04
Discretion is a feature
Aggressive pop-ups, countdown timers and chat bots that demand a phone number read as desperate in this profession. Restraint converts better here than urgency does.
Process
Four stages, fixed fee
I
Consultation
Your practice areas, the matters you want more of, and the clients you would rather not attract.
II
Fixed proposal
A written scope, a fixed fee, and a launch date, agreed before any work begins.
III
Design & build
Drafted copy for review, real screens early, and revision rounds scheduled into the timeline.
IV
Launch & handover
Live, indexed, and every account transferred into the firm’s name.
Terms, stated plainly
- The firm owns everything. Code, design, domain and hosting are transferred into the firm’s name at launch.
- One fee for the build. Nothing paid to me is what keeps the site online; hosting is paid by the firm, directly, for a few dollars a month. Ongoing retainers are available, never required.
- Fixed scope, fixed fee, agreed in writing first. Additions are quoted separately and only proceed on your instruction.
- No template. Designed and coded from a blank page, so it will not resemble the firm two floors up.
Questions
What firms ask first
Can you write the content for our practice areas?+
Yes. I draft every page from our conversation and from your existing materials, then you review and correct it — nothing is published without a lawyer at your firm signing off. You know the jurisdictional nuances and the compliance limits far better than I do, and the review step is where those get applied.
Do you handle law society advertising rules?+
I build the site so that required disclaimers, jurisdiction statements and any prescribed language sit where they need to sit, and I will flag anything in a draft that looks like it needs a second look. The compliance judgement itself stays with your firm — I am a designer, not your regulator, and I will not pretend otherwise.
Can clients book consultations through the site?+
Yes, and for most firms it is worth doing. That can be a discreet request form that lands in your inbox, or a live calendar connected to your practice management or Calendly, depending on whether you want appointments confirmed automatically or screened first.
We have an old site that still ranks. Will a redesign lose that?+
Not if it is handled properly. Existing URLs are mapped and redirected, page structure and metadata are carried over deliberately, and the technical foundations usually end up better than they were. Rankings are protected by planning the migration, not by leaving a dated site alone.
What does it cost?+
Quoted per project as a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before any work starts. A solo practitioner’s site and a twelve-lawyer firm with eight practice areas are genuinely different builds, so a headline price would be misleading. You get one number in writing, and it does not change unless you ask for something additional.
