Think You Have the Best Attorney Web Design? Think Again.

Your website might have fancy graphics and attractive colors, but that doesn’t mean you have the best attorney Web design in town.

Does your website have one of the following?

Giant header that simply states: “Law Office of John Doe”
Headline that reads: “Attorneys with 100 years of combined experience”
Introductory paragraph that begins, “We focus our practice on helping injured people”
Absence of a call-to-action, such as a mention of a free book or report

If one of the above items sounds familiar, we have bad news for you. You don’t have the greatest attorney Web design. In fact, you might have an ineffective website.

Purpose of a website.

Your website has a purpose, and one purpose only, which is to get people to contact your law firm. While it would be great if someone decided to hire you on the spot simply because of your amazing website, nine times out of ten that is not going to happen. Therefore, you need to design your site in such a way that it encourages people to contact you.

Components of an effective website.

You need to focus your website on simply trying to convert a Web visitor into a contact. That means you not only need an attractive website design, you also need to have certain components in place. The following elements are needed for a profitable lawyer website:

Interesting content. You need to speak to the concerns going through the minds of your prospects. Don’t start your website content by talking about how great you are or where you went to school. There will be a time and a place for that, but your home page is definitely not the ideal spot for it.
Ability to add your own website updates. Your work is not over once your website is created. You have to constantly update it with new information, such as blog entries, Web videos, articles, FAQs and client testimonials. It is important that you have the capability to add these updates on your own. You definitely don’t want to be forced to rely on your Web developer.
Free book or report. You need to give your potential clients more than one way to contact your firm. A free offer, such as a book or report, is a great method to encourage your prospects to fill out your contact form or call you.
Relevant Web video. Every lawyer website needs to have relevant video. Video will capture the attention of your target audience and will give your prospects the opportunity to get to know your personality, mannerisms, and so forth. By the time they call you, they will already trust you.
