Law Firm Website Design Agency

Website Development for Law Firms

Drawing on years of experience, our dedicated web designers and developers will work alongside you to create a high-performance Solicitor Website Design that delivers as much punch on the bottom line as it does polish on the front-end.

Whether you advise clients as part of a long-standing family team for generations, or a high street ABS with less than a decade of history, a well-designed legal services site is a great way to build brand recognition and positive client sentiment.

It also allows you to cut admin costs and offer value-added services, for example by providing your clients with their legal documents as digital downloads via a secure e-portal.

Lead generation is the principal purpose of Solicitor Website Design. Every aspect of your digital marketing strategy should be geared towards attracting and converting new clients at a consistent rate. This requires a multi-faceted approach with a well designed website at the heart of your online presence.

In such a competitive sector as this you’ll need a comprehensive content creation and search engine optimisation process to secure positions at the top of Google’s search results pages for your priority practice areas, and a user friendly website with clear and effective calls to action.

We can advise on the correct structure for your website to ensure page authority is properly distributed across the site giving you a powerful foundation for future business growth.

Every law firm site we design is unique, based on your individual brand, client base and on the current trends in the legal sector.

To make sure we get it right, we adopt a data-driven approach, drawing together information from an array of different sources:

• A/B and multivariate testing of pages.
• Audience analysis and segmentation.
• Regulatory awareness and compliance.
• Sector analysis and emerging trends.
• Technology trends and mobile-first design principles.

By putting all of this data together, we gain a deep understanding of your client base, online audience, geographical location and anything else that can help us to build a better website for you.

The first thing we do is build a prototype of your new homepage. This gives you a chance to see the general design – the colours, fonts and overall layout.

We can give this page some basic functionality so you can try it out yourself, but we wait for your feedback before going ahead with the full and final build.

You can be as involved in the initial design process as you want. If you have very clear ideas about what you want from each page of your site, that’s great.

If you’d rather leave the design decisions to our experienced team, we can work with your existing branding to create something that works well in the current market and fits perfectly with your brand identity.

Most of our websites for professional services – including legal professionals – are built using the Concrete5 content management system (CMS).

Once your website is complete, this gives you the ability to update it in the future to keep the content current and target new social media campaigns and SEO keywords.

Concrete5 makes it easy for you to:

• Add blog posts and new pages based on a bespoke template.
• Insert images, interactive forms and other multimedia content.
• Manage existing pages/posts and create new pages as required.

Using drag and drop functionality, you can even change the layout of pages while keeping within the general look, feel and branding of your website, all with just a few clicks.

Design for mobile first

It’s essential to design legal services websites with mobile devices in mind. Many of your potential clients will search for your services from their phones, so a good user experience on mobile devices will make a huge difference to your overall conversion rates. And with Google’s recent core algorithm updates favouring mobile-friendly websites in the rankings, it is now essential to build for mobile first.

Our responsive website designs for law firms make sure mobile users can display your site correctly at different screen sizes and resolutions, and navigate your pages easily.

We can preview your site in portrait and landscape orientations, helping you to see what your clients will see and especially the ‘above the fold’ content they can see without having to scroll down on your homepage.

Apps for law firms

A mobile app is a great way to engage with your audience wherever they are and professional services companies can make excellent use of apps.

There’s plenty of potential in apps for law firms, whether you use an app to send legal news headlines or special offers to your audience, or as a way for existing clients to contact you more easily.

Interactivity helps apps to be more engaging but it also keeps the dialogue open with your client base, giving you even more opportunities to upsell your services.

Whatever your firm’s web development needs are, Visionsharp can help.

A good match for apps

Mobile apps can be a powerful recruitment tool for law firms as they can encapsulate all of your latest roles and vacancies within easy reach for candidates.

A well designed app can complement your website, bringing in even more traffic and enquiries from employers and candidates alike.

By working with Visionsharp you can benefit from a consistent look and feel across your website and your bespoke recruitment app.

Tracking conversions

The most important thing for your law firm’s website to achieve is conversions in the form of phone calls and email enquiries – the next important thing is to track them so you know how well your website is performing.

We can set up campaigns and analytics that can capture conversions that come via your website and identify those customers who contact you via other methods (e.g. telephone) after first finding your site.

It’s essential to identify as many of those clients as possible, giving you confidence in your website’s ability to bring in paying customers.

Testing and tweaking

A regularly updated website will always outperform a static site, so we offer ongoing testing and tweaking which again is based on up-to-date data.

We can set up A/B tests to compare the performance of two different pages, or multivariate tests that can identify the best option from three or more different templates.

Updates can range from simply adding a new services page or blog post to your site, to changing the page template to comply with emerging SEO guidelines and techniques.
