Website Design and Development for High-Performance & Ambitious Attorneys and Lawyers

We are Generation One – a digital agency that specializes in designing and developing websites for law firms, lawyers, and other legal professionals.

We are a team of designers, developers, strategists and project managers dedicated to the success of each client. We work closely with our clients to create websites that reflect their vision and goals, while exceeding their expectations on every level.

Do you know what the most important and valuable asset your law firm owns and controls is? Is it your education and knowledge? Not really, legal advice and expertise is everywhere today – people can find the legal knowledge and expertise they need from you somewhere on the internet if they looked for it. Your skill and experience as a lawyer? Could be, but this is not written on your forehead so people will not see and know this out of the gate. Your reputation? This helps – but it is more of a selling factor than an asset. Your staff and people? They are all lovely, but sadly no.  

Whilst all of these are huge assets and are awesome because they make up the pulse and identity of your law practice/office/firm, and because they help convince potential clients during the sales process, they do not keep you in business (or help you generate more or new business) as a lawyer or attorney.  

CASH is always going to be the best asset because it is the most liquid – and whatever generates the most cash is directly going to be the most important and valuable asset.  

So, as a lawyer, wherever most of your clients come from and whatever generates the greatest number of leads for your business is your most valuable asset. Today, that is most likely your website.  

I get it my website is an asset. That is why I already have one. So, why do I need you? 

Your competitors know that their website is their most important marketing asset (and their most valuable business asset) today because it is the first and final place that potential clients and current clients will visit when they have a problem – and before calling.  

That is why they have and will continue to invest heavily into beautiful and functional websites that not only help potential clients find the information they need in an easy manner – but also convert these searchers into happy clients.  

Lawyers compete for who has the best website because it is important.  

Now, do us a favour, go have a look at your website. Does it represent your law practice perfectly? In your opinion, is it amazing and something that other lawyers and competitors would praise you for?  

It is not, right? Yes, we know that it is not. That is why you are here (or came back here) – and that is a huge issue. 

We cannot stress this enough – your website – and the quality of it – matters a lot if you want to be a successful lawyer. That is precisely why we provide web design services to lawyers and attorneys like you. Give us a call today to begin planning and designing your beautiful and informative law website today.  

Why do I need a website – or a redesign? 

If you are not convinced that you need a law website today, here are some important reasons to consider today: 

Credibility and professionalism: You are a lawyer, or an attorney. Credibility is one of your biggest selling points and differentiators. Without credibility, you will not sign new clients – or be able to keep current ones for long. A professional and well-crafted website signals and shows a high level of authority, professionalism and industry experience (and staying power). All of these make you look credible as a source of legal advice. This is factual. Potential clients and current clients will always want a resource that they can consult or use to gather some essential information when they need you. Today, you can’t just give them a stack of papers to consult. You must give them a digital solution. Your website is that digital solution to their informational needs.  

Saves money and generates revenue: As we have stated above – and want to reiterate – your website is an asset and a tool – not a frivolous (and unjustifiable expense). If you are worried or feel anxious making the investment because you think it is too high or not necessary today, think about this carefully. Your website will make you money. If it looks perfect and serves your clients well – it will generate tons of money for you. Ultimately paying for itself in the long run. Even more awesome is the fact that it will save you some money as well. It will save you valuable resources (time and revenue lost to sales) or significant investments into advertising and marketing by being your client generation machine (that works for free and is always selling for you – 24 hours a day and 7 days a week). 

FREE TRAFFIC and more clients: A great website that was built by law website design experts will get you more leads and clients on autopilot – from more free traffic. Investing in an awesome website that was designed and developed with input from capable digital marketing experts will allow your firm to rank highly on Google (and be visible to tons potential clients that are searching for you right now) – and have a constant and predictable stream of traffic. The free and organic traffic from Google that results from this will have a significant impact on your business. Trust us on that one.   

Redesign: Your marketing and traffic may not be the problem. 

You will need a law website redesign when your digital marketing strategy overall is not successful, and when you can clearly see that your website is not performing to expectations (or needs). If you have fully arrived at the conclusion that your marketing efforts are not working based on conversion numbers from a comprehensive audit, then a redesign of your website will be the key to unlocking conversions from ads and digital marketing activities. A redesigned website can boost conversions and sales as soon as the new website is launched.  

If this is something you have not considered and will need some help with determining if you need a website redesign to boost conversions, give us a call or email today.  

This is the golden question that all lawyers, attorneys and marketing directors are always quick to ask.  

Well, the simple and honest answer to this question is – it depends. Yes, we know that may not be what you are looking for. But, mainly because a website is the best and most valuable investment your firm can make to become more competitive in your market and law service area (and website designers know this), and because the skills of web design companies that build law websites (or web designers in general) vary greatly, the overall cost of a law website will differ. You can pay as little as $500 for a simple website – or significantly more. This all depends on a lot of factors.  

From a high-level perspective, the price you pay for a new and refreshed website will be dependent on the items you can provide, the gaps in what you can provide internally and need to get handled externally, and the level (and type) of work you need from (out of) the lawyer website design company you select. 

How much should I pay? 

Since the look of your website matters when it comes to convincing potential clients, and the functionality and utility of it will most definitely determine the level of ROI you can extract from it over the course of its lifetime, it is important that you invest all that you can afford into it. That means that you should not cut corners. You must invest in the type and level of content expected of a top law firm, awesome photography and videography that showcases your office in the best (and most professional) way possible – and in a website that properly serves its educational purpose and function.  

From what we see (from years of experience working with lawyers) and advice (because we are business owners also – and want to give you the best advice), this requires investing anywhere from $10000 to $100000 (or more) into your website. Sometimes, with very large global firms, website design or redesign and development work can cost well into the six figure or seven figure range.  

Short Answer: Depending on the size of your firm, unique functional requirements of the law website, content and page requirements, and some other factors, your website design work will cost you somewhere in the range of – $500 to millions. For a specific quote on a website, we recommend that you give us a call. Based on your business goals, firms’ unique needs and other factors listed here, we will be able to give you a budget and proposal for your web design or redesign project.  

We know what we are doing – and will build you the best law website possible. 

We will create the perfect legal consulting discovery and legal education experience for your clients – and potential clients. At the end of the day, we do not just build websites for the sake of building – we build them to serve a function and to fulfill a need. That special need and function for law websites is legal information discovery and law practice education. Finding the balance between these two things is very tough. However, we have perfected the science and art of planning, designing and creating law websites (for lawyers and attorneys) that promote the clients law practice naturally and skillfully – whilst helping the end user and visitors to the website as much as possible with their legal problems. We have found this to be the most effective way to go about building law websites for our clients. And, that it the approach that yields the best result possible – a law leads generation powerhouse for you. 

We are very good at building websites that lawyers (and attorneys) and their clients love. 

We work very hard (very long hours) to create awesome websites for our clients. We live and breather websites. Every day, we are designing and tweaking websites – or dissecting them to learn more about them so that we can make them even better (and more effective). That is why we are sure that we will be able to build a website and marketing asset that will convert web visitors into hot legal leads (that will be a breeze to sign and close) for you (or your firm).  

We have found that this is not the case with all website design companies. Some are simply in it for the money and do not care that much for what they do. It is just a service or revenue stream to them. And, this is why we believe that you should choose us to design your law website (and internet sales tool).  

You see, since most of other website design companies available to you are out to just build a website for the sake of building it, they will not deliver the best final product. They see it as a process and a product – not as a tool. So, they will not treat it with the care and respect that creating a website tool needs.  

We know that your website is going to be a powerful tool that will serve your business for a very long time. So, we will work very hard to make it as amazing as possible. You will get a beautiful website that works – and works beautifully. 

This all sounds great but I can get this stuff elsewhere 

Yea sure, you can get a website with all the bells and whistles you need and all of the call to actions that you think you need anywhere on the internet nowadays. We get it, there are lots of law web design companies and options available out there. But, let us ask you a question, what do you want out of your website? MORE CLIENTS! Right? Yes. Well, just a website alone will not get you this. That is why not just any law web design company will do. You need a company that can help you with your main goal as well – LEAD GENERATION.

We understand the marketing utility of a lawyer’s website so we pay close attention to creating a website that will be effective at actually convincing and persuading potential clients (and the target audience) about your legal services and expertise. Also, as capable and experienced designers, we understand that your law website has to look good and catch the eye of the target audience and end users.

Another law web design company can create a beautiful law website for your firm, but what good is that beautiful website going to be if does not get seen by the people who need it and you the most? No good at all.  

So, if you want the best of all worlds, a beautiful law website that end users will love looking at and find useful, and a marketing plan to bring tons of real people that are ready to pick up the phone to dial your office for your legal services, and awesome digital marketing execution, give us a call for a free consultation today.  

A captivating lawyer website design can make the difference between a potential client choosing to work with you or not. With a beautiful, easy-to-navigate, and professional website design, you will be able to attract more clients.

With that being established, the best lawyer website designs are ones that are built with the user in mind. This is why it is important to take into account things like the target audience and their needs when designing your site.

More importantly, lawyers and attorneys are often the most expensive professionals, and it is important that their websites be able to reflect this. The design of a lawyer or attorney website should be captivating and get people interested in the services that they offer.

A captivating lawyer website design should not only be pleasing to the eye, but it should also be able to convey a message and a purpose. A good lawyer website design will engage visitors, and keep them interested in what the law firm has to offer.

Overall, captivating lawyer and attorney website design is an important aspect of the law industry. It is a reflection of the company’s brand and its values.

How important is mobile responsiveness in lawyer website design, and what steps should be taken to ensure the website looks and functions well on different devices?

In this section, we will explore the importance of mobile responsiveness in lawyer website design and discuss the steps that should be taken to guarantee a visually appealing and user-friendly experience on all devices while adhering to the best SEO practices.

• The Importance of Mobile Responsiveness

1. Increasing Mobile Usage: Mobile devices account for a significant portion of internet traffic. More and more users rely on their smartphones to search for legal services, making it crucial for lawyer websites to provide an optimal experience on mobile devices.
2. User Expectations: Users expect websites to load quickly and be easy to navigate on their mobile devices. If a website is not mobile responsive, users may encounter issues such as slow loading times, distorted layouts, and difficulty in reading or interacting with the content. Such negative experiences can lead to high bounce rates and potential clients seeking services elsewhere.
3. SEO Benefits: Search engines prioritize mobile-friendly websites in their rankings. Having a mobile-responsive website improves your search engine visibility, increasing the chances of potential clients discovering and accessing your site.

• Steps to Ensure Mobile Responsiveness
• Adopt a Responsive Web Design Approach

1. Fluid Layout: Use a fluid layout that adjusts to different screen sizes and resolutions. This ensures that your website content adapts seamlessly to the user’s device, providing an optimal viewing experience.
2. Flexible Images and Media: Implement responsive images and media elements that automatically scale and adjust based on the screen size. This prevents images from appearing too large or small, maintaining visual consistency across devices.
3. Grid-based Design: Utilize a grid-based design that allows content to rearrange itself based on screen size. This ensures that important elements are prioritized and displayed prominently, regardless of the device being used.

• Test Across Multiple Devices and Screen Sizes

1. Device Testing: Regularly test your website on various mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, to ensure consistent functionality and appearance. Identify and address any issues or inconsistencies that may arise.
2. Responsive Design Testing Tools: Utilize responsive design testing tools that simulate different devices and screen sizes. These tools provide insights into how your website renders on different platforms and allow you to make necessary adjustments.

• Optimize Navigation and Interaction

1. Streamlined Navigation: Simplify navigation for mobile users by utilizing clear and concise menus, collapsible menus, or hamburger menus. Make it easy for visitors to access key information without excessive scrolling or clicking.
2. Touch-Friendly Elements: Optimize interactive elements, such as buttons and links, for touch screens. Ensure they are adequately sized and spaced to facilitate easy tapping without accidentally activating adjacent elements.

• Optimize Loading Speed

1. Compressed Images: Compress and optimize images to reduce file sizes without compromising quality. Large image files can significantly impact loading times on mobile devices, leading to user frustration and potential abandonment.
2. Minify Code: Minimize the size of your website’s code by removing unnecessary characters, spaces, and line breaks. This improves loading speed and enhances the overall user experience.

• Prioritize Mobile SEO

1. Responsive Design as a Ranking Factor: Search engines favor responsive websites when determining search rankings. By prioritizing mobile responsiveness, you enhance your website’s visibility and improve its chances of appearing higher in search results.

A mobile-friendly website ensures that potential clients can easily access and navigate your site, regardless of the device they are using. By adopting a responsive design approach, testing across multiple devices, optimizing navigation and interaction, prioritizing loading speed, and considering mobile SEO best practices, lawyers can create a seamless and user-friendly experience for their website visitors. Remember, a well-optimized mobile website not only enhances user satisfaction but also contributes to higher search rankings and increased client engagement.

How can lawyers utilize effective call-to-action (CTA) elements in their website design to encourage visitors to take desired actions, such as contacting the firm or scheduling a consultation?

In the competitive landscape of the legal industry, it is crucial for lawyers to utilize effective call-to-action (CTA) elements in their website design. A well-crafted CTA serves as a powerful tool to encourage website visitors to take desired actions, such as contacting the firm, scheduling a consultation, or requesting more information. In this section, we will explore the importance of CTAs in lawyer website design and discuss strategies to create compelling CTAs that drive conversions while adhering to the best SEO practices. By implementing these techniques, lawyers can optimize their websites to engage potential clients and increase their chances of converting leads into valuable clients.

• Understanding the Power of Call-to-Action Elements

1. Defining Call-to-Action: A call-to-action is a strategic element on a website that prompts visitors to take a specific action. It serves as a persuasive tool to guide users toward the desired outcome, whether it is filling out a contact form, subscribing to a newsletter, or initiating a conversation.
2. Importance of Effective CTAs: Well-designed CTAs can significantly impact the success of a lawyer’s website by increasing conversions, improving user engagement, and facilitating a seamless user journey. They provide clear direction to visitors, helping them navigate through the decision-making process.

• Strategies for Creating Compelling CTAs

1. Use Clear and Actionable Language
2. Be Specific: Clearly communicate the desired action by using specific and actionable language. For example, instead of using generic phrases like “Learn More,” opt for more specific CTAs such as “Schedule a Consultation” or “Get Expert Legal Advice.”
3. Create a Sense of Urgency: Incorporate time-sensitive language to instill a sense of urgency in visitors. Phrases like “Limited Time Offer” or “Act Now” can motivate potential clients to take immediate action.

• Position CTAs Strategically

1. Above the Fold: Place CTAs above the fold, meaning they should be visible without the need for scrolling. This ensures that visitors encounter the CTA early on in their browsing experience.
2. Throughout the Website: Reinforce CTAs throughout different sections of the website, especially in prominent areas such as the header, sidebar, or at the end of relevant content. This increases the likelihood of engagement regardless of where visitors are on the site.

• Design Elements for Maximum Impact

1. Contrast and Visibility: Use contrasting colors and visual elements to make the CTA stand out from the rest of the page. This attracts attention and directs the visitor’s focus to the desired action.
2. Button Design: Design CTA buttons that are visually appealing, easy to identify, and have a clear clickable appearance. Utilize a combination of colors, size, and typography to create an inviting and clickable button.

• Offer Value and Incentives

1. Compelling Value Proposition: Clearly communicate the value and benefits visitors will receive by taking the desired action. Highlight unique selling points or special offers that differentiate your firm from competitors.
2. Free Resources or Consultation: Offer free resources, such as e-books, guides, or informative articles, in exchange for visitors providing their contact information. This helps build trust and positions your firm as a valuable resource.

• Optimize for SEO

1. Keyword Placement: Incorporate relevant keywords within the CTA text and surrounding content to improve SEO. This helps search engines understand the purpose and relevance of the CTA.
2. Meta Tags: Optimize the meta tags, including the title and description, for each webpage. This ensures that the CTA appears in search engine results with a compelling and keyword-rich description, increasing visibility and click-through rates.
3. Landing Page Optimization: Align the CTA with a dedicated landing page that provides a seamless user experience. Optimize the landing page for relevant keywords, clear messaging, and easy conversion opportunities.

Conclusion

Effective call-to-action elements play a vital role in a lawyer’s website design by guiding visitors towards desired actions and increasing conversions. By implementing strategies such as using clear and actionable language, strategic positioning, compelling design elements, offering value and incentives, and optimizing for SEO, lawyers can create compelling CTAs that resonate with their target audience.
