web design for lawyers
SEO-driven, trust-focused websites for law firms that attract enquiries and convert visitors into clients.
Your website is the first impression for potential clients. A professional, mobile-first site that ranks locally and presents your expertise clearly turns lookers into callers — without expensive agency timelines or monthly surprises.
Why Lawyers Need a Professional Website
Clients judge credibility in seconds. For legal services, that first impression matters more than almost any other industry — people often hire a lawyer for stressful, high-value problems where trust, clarity and professional presentation are essential.
Be Found by People Looking for Help
Most clients start with Google: "injury lawyer near me", "family lawyer [suburb]", "commercial dispute lawyer". A professional site that's optimised for search is how you capture those ready-to-hire enquiries.
Build Instant Credibility
Clean design, clear practice pages, lawyer bios and easy contact options reduce friction and increase calls. Professional design reassures clients that they’re working with a reputable firm.
Turn Traffic into Enquiries
A site built with conversion in mind (clear CTAs, phone click-to-call, appointment options, and lead capture) means visitors become clients — not just browsers.
Measure What Matters
Tracking where calls and contact form enquiries come from helps you invest in the marketing that returns results — whether that's SEO, paid search or local listings.
SEO for Law Firms: Rank for the Right Searches
Law firm SEO is about intent. Your best clients search with location and problem-specific keywords — e.g., "workers compensation lawyer [suburb]" or "estate planning lawyer near me". Optimising for those queries brings pre-qualified traffic.
Local & Practice-Area Focus
- Dedicated practice pages for each service (criminal law, family, personal injury)
- Location pages for suburbs and courts you serve
- Schema markup for law firms and FAQs to improve search results
Technical SEO & Speed
Google rewards fast, secure, mobile-friendly sites. Technical SEO tasks we prioritise:
- Optimised meta titles and descriptions per page
- XML sitemap and robots configuration
- Structured data for lawyer and legal service schema
Build Trust — Reduce Client Doubts Before They Call
People hire lawyers when they're anxious or vulnerable. Your website must answer questions, reduce perceived risk, and demonstrate credibility quickly.
Clear Lawyer Bios
Professional headshots, concise experience, specialisations and accreditations. Make your team approachable and authoritative.
Transparent Pricing & Process
Outline your engagement process, typical fees, and what clients can expect — this reduces friction and filters relevant enquiries.
Helpful Educational Content
Guides, checklists and FAQs position you as the expert and answer common client questions before they call.
Design & Conversion: Make Contacting You Easy
A beautiful site matters — but strategic layout and frictionless contact paths drive enquiries. Design for action.
Primary Conversion Paths
- Click-to-call buttons visible on every screen
- Prominent "Book a Consultation" CTAs
- Concise contact pages with office hours and multiple contact options
User Experience & Accessibility
Ensure text is readable, navigation is obvious, and forms are short. Accessibility is important for clients and for search ranking signals.
- Large tappable buttons on mobile
- Readable fonts and contrast
- Structured content that answers questions quickly
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Most legal enquiries are local. Ranking in the local pack (map results) is one of the fastest ways to get high-intent leads.
What we optimise
- Google Business Profile setup and optimisation
- Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across listings
- Location landing pages for suburbs and regions
- Local schema markup and citation auditing
Technical Essentials: Speed, Security & Mobile
Google and clients expect fast, secure websites. Technical issues cost rankings and conversions.
Performance
Target mobile load under 3s. Image optimisation, caching, and fast hosting.
Security
HTTPS, regular backups, and secure hosting protect your clients' data and your reputation.
Mobile-first
Most contacts come from phones — design with mobile users top of mind (tappable CTAs, short forms).
Content Strategy: Practice Pages & Helpful Guides
A content plan focused on practice areas and client questions drives visibility and demonstrates expertise.
Must-have pages
- Homepage with clear services and contact CTA
- Practice area pages (detailed, problem-focused)
- Lawyer bios with credentials and court experience
- Contact & office location page with map
- FAQ pages answering common client concerns
Ongoing content
Publishing regular articles and guides signals authority and feeds long-tail SEO.
- Monthly practice updates or case studies (anonymised)
- Guides for common legal processes
- Local legal news and court changes relevant to clients
Track Leads & Measure ROI
Knowing which pages generate calls and which keywords convert into clients lets you double down on what works.
- Set up call tracking and goal-based analytics
- Monthly dashboards showing enquiries by source
- Simple recommendations to improve low-performing pages
