Law Firm Website Design

Professional Web Design For Law Firms

A great law firm website design should reflect your firm’s professionalism, competence and credibility.

Start Your New Website

At Concise Digital, we specialise in building websites for lawyers and have built dozens of websites for different legal practices, from family law firms through to commercial lawyers.

An effective website is a powerful conversion tool for legal firms. Prospective clients often do their initial research online, and make a shortlist of law firms to follow up.

Important selection decisions can be based purely on your website and online presence, so your website must present your practice as an effective law firm with the necessary strengths and experience.

You will need well-structured landing pages that clearly show your practice areas. All of our legal websites are developed to be visible within Google, engage your visitors and provide them with the best possible client experience. And of course, you need prominent contact information and strong calls-to-action to generate leads and enquiries from suitable visitors.

With over 15 years of experience in law firm website design and development, you can be confident we know how to design, build and deliver exactly what you need to achieve your business goals, provide the important information your clients expect and solve problems for your clients.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PROJECTS.

To get an idea of what we can do for you, take a look at some of the law firm websites
we designed and built for others.

Budgets & Pricing

Your professional legal website will vary in cost, depending on the functionality required.

To keep things simple, we work on an hourly rate. We charge the same rate for all of our website development and our digital online marketing services. This single rate is convenient for us to quickly calculate pricing estimates, and because we charge by the hour, our pricing is easy to follow and totally transparent for you. 

We know this rate is a lot lower than other comparable web design agencies charge, which is one of the reasons new clients are attracted to us. We don’t have fancy offices and we keep our overheads low, so we can keep our rates low.

It gets better. We save money on admin, and we pass this saving on to you with a lower rate.

So, how much will your new website cost? This depends on the number of hours it takes to plan, design and build the new website. Typically, this will be in the range of 25 hours to 80 hours.

This means as a guide, a good law firm website typically costs between $3k to $10k. We can work around your budget and we will quickly let you know if any of your special requests will exceed your specified budget. We’ve built different legal websites with varying website budgets, so whether you are a small law firm or a very large legal practice, we can help.

For large projects, Concise Digital can provide payment plans with zero-interest and payment terms of up to six months.

Key Features For Lawyer Websites

Team Profiles for Partners, Senior Associates, Lawyers, Barristers & Support Staff

Potential clients want to see who they will be working with and find a lawyer that they feel they can trust. We put your team front and centre, illustrating each team member’s identity, competence and expertise.

We include your practice areas, accreditations, achievements and link to your LinkedIn profiles.

Highlight Practice Area Specialisations

The best law firm websites clearly highlight practice area specialisations. Website visitors need to be able to easily find and understand your specific legal services to see if you can help solve their problems.

We ensure your services pages are structured to be easy to read and capture the attention of your website visitors.

Easy Content Management System

It’s important for most law firms to easily manage and update their own website. This is why we build your law firm website using an easy to use content management system (CMS) like WordPress.

This means you can add content, upload high-quality images, add blog posts and more without the need for a developer. Managing your site is simple, even for non-technical staff.

Secure Client Portal With File Repository

As part of your law firm website design, we can include a secure client portal that allows convenience for your clients without sacrificing on security or privacy. Clients can submit claims, upload any required documentation, pay invoices and more.

Automated Consultation Scheduling

Many firms find it helpful to automate scheduling of appointments. This is a common feature we provide on legal websites, where your clients can book consultations with you online in real-time and manage their calendar bookings.

This can help reduce time spent on administrative tasks like booking in clients, and changing and cancelling appointments. Clients also benefit from easily and quickly being able to arrange their next consultation or reschedule without having to call.

Smart Integrations

We can integrate any systems you use in your law firm. Whether that be an existing CRM, intranet or software like eCourts, we can help integrate it with your new or existing website.

Custom Systems

As part of your law firm website design, we can custom build systems to meet your specific needs. Perhaps you need a system that allows for process and procedural updates internally or perhaps a customer relationship management system to manage clients more effectively.

Whatever you require, we can either integrate with your existing software, add new third party software or we can custom build exactly what you need.

Responsive on All Devices

Good lawyer website design means ensuring your website is easy to use across all devices, whether your visitor comes on a mobile phone, a tablet or their laptop or desktop computer.

Many people use their phones to manage their calendars, schedule their days and complete tasks, so we do extensive user testing to ensure your professional law firm website is responsive on all mobile devices.

Client Testimonials

Good testimonials from others becomes ‘social proof’ that adds to your credibility, substantiates your claims and gives visitors more confidence to make a decision to use your legal services.

On your legal firm website, we can dynamically feature reviews left by your clients in Google and other platforms. It’s essential to include client testimonials that are verified from sources like Google or Facebook.

Our Tried & Tested Process for
Building Your New Website

Firstly, we take the time to understand your firm, specific requirements and budget. Expect a lot of questions because it’s essential we get a deep understanding so we can provide you with our best guidance and an accurate quote.

This can be done over the phone, on a video call or over coffee, if you prefer. We are very flexible with our working hours and will always try to fit in with you for suitable meeting times.

To streamline the whole process, it’s often helpful to look at some of the law firm websites we have created. That way you can note down any design or functionality you’d like to include or not include.

After we investigate your requirements, we will come back to you with a detailed brief confirming exactly what you want, including pages, colours, photos, and features with estimates on how long each section will take. We provide all the costs involved upfront, so you know exactly how much the law firm website will cost with no surprises later.

You review our brief and, if necessary, we can adjust what is included to suit your budget.

For most businesses, we will normally recommend building your website to incorporate Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) best practices. This ensures your new website is built from the start with SEO in mind vs making changes later if you decide to do SEO work down the line.

We provide SEO services for many law firms, and a good SEO friendly website as a base can save a lot of time and money later.

Building your site for SEO requires an SEO specialist to be involved in the planning stage to assist in the preparation of your site architecture. This ‘SEO Specialist’ time is additional to the standard ‘design and build’ time and cost for your new website.

If would like your website to incorporate search engine optimisation best practices, we start by conducting keyword research to help inform the URLs, sitemap and navigation, new page suggestions and page structures.

If you’re moving from an old website to a new one, we will create all the required redirects to ensure that any backlinks and bookmarks going to pages on the old site will still work and will automatically redirect website visitors to the correct page on your new website.

It can take years to build up good visibility and prominence for your web pages within search engines. If your website ranks high in search engines for your legal services, we employ techniques to maintain your rankings. This involves carefully planning URL structure changes, navigation changes, content changes and any metadata changes to maintain your high rankings.

Before starting design mockups, you will need to provide your branding guidelines and all essential design assets, like logos, photos and videos you want us to incorporate. Once we have this, we provide you with design mockups of the mobile and desktop home page.

You review those designs, provide your feedback and tell us any suggestions or alterations that are needed. Once the home page designs are approved, we move on to create the designs for standard internal pages and any pages that need specific designs for special functionality or user interactivity.

Once the designs are approved, our development team will start to build your website. Once complete, you will then have the chance to go through the entire website and provide feedback.

Once everything is exactly how you want it, we will walk you through the backend and show you how everything works.

Before your law firm website can go live, we will need you to provide the content for your practice area pages, lawyer profiles and blog content. If you are creating the content for your site, then you will need to provide the content in a timely and organised manner so that the website project can be delivered and launched on-time for you.

Alternatively, we can write the content for your website or even proofread and edit any content you provide. We’re happy either way, and we can do as much work or as little work on this as you wish. 

If SEO is important to your website, your web content needs to be written, reviewed and optimised by our SEO specialists. This step can come later if you’d prefer to launch with the website copy you already have.

Our specialists will optimise the content using on-page SEO techniques and natural language processing like keyword inclusion in the headings and body text, the inclusion of lists, internal and external linking and adding metadata.

Correctly optimised and professionally written web content will allow you to rank better for important keywords in search engines and convert more leads.

After development is complete and the content is added, we will go through and test each page on desktop and mobile and make adjustments. We will also check that all functionality is working correctly and troubleshoot any issues. To achieve the best law firm website, it’s always good for you to get involved with testing the new site as well.

The next stage is to set up your website hosting and ensure it is working perfectly ready to go ‘live’.

At Concise Digital, we have our own high-level business-grade hosting servers as part of AWS, and we have our own Hosting Support Team available 24/7 coverage to provide ongoing technical support to all of our hosting clients. (This is important, as very few web design agencies are big enough to have their own hosting support technical team.)

Before and after your website goes live, we will implement relevant tasks from our SEO migration checklist to reduce the chance of any drops in your rankings and organic traffic. This involves tasks like implementing redirects, copying across your previous metadata, updating internal links with new URLs and much more.

This is when we make your new website live to the world. As part of this process, we immediately test the site to ensure all elements function properly across all devices.

Your website project does not stop with the launch of the site. Really, the launch is just the start of the next stage for your business. 

We stay in touch with you and help you through any teething issues you may have. One important area is to help you understand what is happening on your law firm website. This is where your ‘website analytics’ provides you with vital intelligence.

A couple of weeks after your website has gone live is usually a good time for us to talk with you and to go through your initial reports in Google Analytics. We can also provide suggestions on a digital marketing strategy you can implement to help grow your online presence, attract traffic to your website and gain potential clients.
