Law firm web site design

Most law firms and website designers do not spend enough time strategically planning the unique "interactive loop" or metaphor that is the backbone of every quality website and ties it together. They used a standard linear outline structure, commonplace graphics, and just plugged in the features and information. As a result, these websites never achieved the goals of the law firm. ***** Your website should be an interactive environment for efficient retrieval of timely, unique and practical information in the areas of your legal specialties. Your website is not simply a legal directory of your firm - that's why we have Martindale Hubble. ***** A little custom artwork, and a few hours of strategic planning to create an "interactive architecture" that adds focus to your website is affordable for most firms, and gives a personal signature to your website. ***** Early television programs were like radio with pictures, and most law firm websites are little more than computerized legal directories. A law firm would not decorate their office with furniture from Kmart, but most law firm websites look as if they were created by the discount school of design. Whether you hire us or another website design firm, don't make this mistake.

Website content

A client or visitor to your website does not want to wade through a lot of generalities about your firm to get to the specific content about your specialty. Insightful online articles, prepared by lawyers with good resumes, build client confidence and attract new clients. Online resumes, accompanied only with photos and e-mail links, do not Return to top Info - specialty e-mail Order - specialty e-mail Info - law firm website Order - law firm website Feedback - law firm website

Web site discussion forums, conference and chat

Your law firm website should give a client or visitor to your website something interactive to do, and a reason to come back. Your interactive feature can be as simple as an e-mail feedback link to comment on your articles. You can then post these comments and your response as a discussion group. It can also be as extensive as live chat, conference, and broadcasting your own law radio program. In either case, the interactive features, tone, color scheme, graphics and navigation of your website must match the personality and clientele of your firm. More important than anything else, your firm's website design, content and interactive features should make visitors want to know more about the people behind your content. ***** All our web sites include basic discussion groups, live conference/chat, legal specialty e-mail, and the opportunity to broadcast recorded commentary on lawradio.com.

e-mail and newsletters

All our websites include two e-mail accounts per lawyer, one under your firm name and the other from our list of legal specialty e-mail names, if you desire. Sending of firm newsletters, and posting your news letters on line are billed at the standard production rate of $50-$75 per hour.

Website cost

A totally custom designed website is similar to an anti-trust or Chapter 11 case. It is not inexpensive because of the hours involved, but is easily affordable for most middle to large firms. Most custom websites range between $5000 - $30,000 for initial design and development. However, not every firm needs a totally custom designed website. Remember the 80/20 rule? That 20% of your effort produces 80% of your revenue. It applies to website too. Your firm can allocate a greater part of your budget to the features of your website that will have the greatest marginal utility for your firm, and use boilerplate for the remainder. Most websites can be designed and put online in stages, as long as there is continuity among the parts. ***** The size of your firm is not the main factor to determine the cost of your web site. Disc storage space is inexpensive, as is "boilerplate" reproduction of resumes and e-mail links. If that is all you want, then you can expect an initial set up charge of $500, plus $200 per attorney, and a monthly hosting fee between $60 and $125. After the first year, there is an annual renewal charge of $500 per year. Our custom web site design is composed of two stages. First, senior strategic planners create the initial interactive architecture, functional design, and structure of your site, at an hourly fee of $175 per hour. After you approve the initial structure and layout, our production designers, programmers and graphics designers implement the design plan, content publication and updates at an hourly charge between $50 - $75 per hour. The crucial phase is the initial design. Once this stage is completed, and you have written your content in Word Perfect or Word, our web site production is similar to the production of any standard document in your office. Most custom web sites start at $2,500. The total cost increases in direct proportion to the volume of pages and discussion topics that you publish online. The unit production cost per page decreases slightly in relation to volume, but in most cases the unit cost per page is similar whether you have a ten (10) member or 300 member firm. If you want to improve your current site, we also revise and update existing law firm web sites. For details, see our web site information packet at page 3.
