Trust is the product
A prospective client is deciding whether to hand you something important. The website is often the first evidence they have. It should look established, read plainly and make it obvious who you help and how to reach you.
What a law firm website needs
A separate page for each practice area, written in plain language
Attorney profiles with a real photo, background, bar admissions and contact details
A clear way to request a consultation, with expectations about response time
Fast loading and easy reading on a phone, where many first visits happen
Articles that answer the questions clients actually ask
A restrained design that looks credible rather than loud
Check the advertising rules
Lawyer advertising is regulated, and the rules differ from state to state. Claims about results, specialization and testimonials are the usual trouble spots. We build the structure and design; you or your compliance counsel should approve the wording before launch.
How people search for attorneys
Searches combine a legal problem with a place, or a plain question. Each practice area deserves its own page that answers the problem directly. A firm licensed in several states can show that on its attorney and practice pages. Pages for places where the firm has no office or real presence tend to do more harm than good.
Identity for a professional practice
A firm mark, a color palette and a type system that look the same on a letterhead, a business card and a website give a small practice the consistency of a larger one.

Should a solo attorney have a blog?
Only if you can publish accurate, useful answers regularly. A few strong articles on common client questions beat a long list of thin ones.
