A Website for Law Firms You See Before You Pay
People don’t shop for a lawyer the way they shop for a plumber. They search late at night, read every word, and call the firm that made them feel less stupid for not knowing what to do next.
Do small law firms need their own website?
Yes. A person with a legal problem wants three things before they pick up the phone: proof you handle their kind of case, some idea of what it costs, and a sense of who they’ll be talking to. A directory profile gives them a headshot and a star rating. Your own site gives them an answer.
Most owners put it off because a build like this usually runs $1,000–$5,000 and you pay before you see it. We don’t work that way: we design yours free and you only pay if you love it. It’s $997 flat if you want it, custom-built for your law firm, live in a few days, and yours to keep. The domain and hosting are in your name, and there’s nothing else to pay.
The Real Problem Law Firms Have With Their Website
Legal directories and lead services charge by the click or by the lead, and they sell the same lead to four firms at once. The firm’s own site is usually an afterthought: a homepage that says “experienced, aggressive, compassionate” and a practice-areas list with no pages behind it. A person searching “how long does probate take in Ohio” never finds it, because nothing on the site answers that question.
Market reality: Pay-per-click legal keywords are among the most expensive in advertising, often tens of dollars a click and far more for injury work. One estate plan, one divorce retainer or one contingency case is typically worth thousands. A page that answers the question a client is already typing costs nothing per click.
What a Law Firm Website Has to Do
Answer the question they searched. Show a fee or a range. Make the first call easy.
A Page for Each Practice Area
Probate, wills, divorce, custody, DUI, landlord disputes. Each gets its own page, written in plain English, around the questions clients type.
Fees Stated Where You Can
Flat fees for the work that suits them, and a plain explanation of how hourly or contingency billing works for the rest. Fear of the bill is why people don’t call.
First-Call Request Form
Name, number, the kind of matter and a good time to talk. It tells people not to send confidential details and lands in your intake inbox.
Attorney Pages That Sound Human
Where you practiced, what you handle, and why. Clients are hiring a person and they want to know who.
Answers to the Questions Clients Ask
“What happens if there’s no will?” “Do I need a lawyer for this?” These pages are what people and AI assistants quote.
Courts and Counties You Serve
The counties and courts you actually appear in, stated plainly. Legal searches are local, and so is the work.
