There is no shortage of tools and hosting services that allow you to easily set it up and do it yourself. Some examples include WordPress, JurisPage, and LawLytics.

Website Development
Your website needs be designed and built to display your brand the right way the first time.
You website must be search engine friendly to boost your visibility, while fulfilling the needs of your clients.
A great website design must go beyond visuals. It must focus on usability and create a pleasant user experience for your visitors.
Site Structure: Structure plays an important role, not only in visitor experience, but also SEO on legal websites. It is important to incorporate SEO best practice standards in order to rank and attract more potential clients. An added benefit of conforming to SEO best practices is that these standards often improve user experience as well, fulfilling two of the most important parts of website design in one.
Google largely favors websites with clear navigation. This means that you need to make sure you follow logical structure with indexed pages. Consider creating separate pages for each of your legal specialties, such as your personal injury legal services, family legal services, and criminal attorney services. You want potential clients to easily find what they are looking for when they visit your website.
Secure Encryption: There are also other standards that signal to Google and users that your website is reliable and worth ranking highly in SERPs. Protocols, such as using http vs. https, affect how users and search engines view you. The core difference between HTTP and HTTPS is that HTTPS encrypts normal HTTP requests and response, adding a level of security to any information that passes through your site. HTTPS tells users and search engines that your website is secure, while the use of HTTP makes things seem less secure.
Create Clear Content: Clear messaging and user-friendly URLs are also another key component to improving your website’s performance. The use of keywords in page titles, content, and the URLs make it easier for search engine bots to find keywords and rate your relevance. This can get your website onto the front page of SERPs. User-friendly links visibly indicate what a page is about to your visitors, so they can easily locate relevant content.
The key to improving your website’s SEO and overall performance lies in building your relevance and authority on a subject, through clear, readable content.
Mobile Compatibility: A mobile-compatible design improves your SEO and user experience. Most people use their phones or other mobile devices to do their searches online. Google favors those websites that are mobile-first, meaning it favors those which are optimized for mobile devices. You want your content to still flow, even on a smaller screen.
Site Speed: Loading speed is another important factor in a visitor’s experience and your firm’s SEO. Your visitors do not want to spend their time waiting for your things to load. This includes load times on a mobile device.
You can optimize your speed through various methods, including optimizing images. Make sure file sizes for any visual media content are not too large. Large files cause your website to slow down.
Web development and design experts optimize your website’s content to support the fastest loading speeds, so you don’t lose any business due to a slow webpage. Otherwise, you can check your site’s speed on your own using available tools that test loading speed around the Internet.
Accessibility: An often-overlooked factor is accessibility. Accessibility applies to your entire site, but more often, it applies to any images, videos, graphics, or other animated and visual content present on your site. Consider the use of alternate text to describe images, which is a source of keywords. Think about how people with mobility concerns may navigate without a mouse.
Take the time to learn more about digital accessibility. It will greatly benefit you, not just through SEO, but by bringing in more clients who are able to effortlessly view your content.
Schema: Schema is a special structured language that helps search engines better understand what a webpage is about. This is done through a variety of data entry points. There is a special kind of schema for attorneys. It is important to make sure your website has an easy way to input schema. Schema is necessary for SEO on attorney websites.
Landing Pages: Your website is the perfect place to host your landing pages. PPC campaigns for law firms need great landing pages that adhere to your brands design. We can build dedicated landing pages and host them on the same URL to boost clients confidence in your firm.
