Legal & Professional Services
Covers: law firms, solo attorneys, immigration consultants, notaries, mediators. See also accounting, insurance, real estate for specific professional subtypes.
If the practice doesn't match a specific sub-type, Anglesite can help the website owner figure out what's best for their firm — start from this file and tailor as you go.
What your visitors will find
I build the pages your customers actually look for — not a generic template.
Practice areas / services
Individual pages per practice area. "Family law" and "estate planning" are different searches with different audiences. Don't combine them.
About / attorney bios
Credentials, experience, bar admissions, and a human touch. People hire people, not firms. Include a real photo.
FAQ
Answer the questions clients actually ask on the first phone call. Great for SEO — people search for "do I need a lawyer for [X]?"
Contact
Phone, email, office address. Include "free consultation" CTA if they offer it. Make the phone number tappable.
Testimonials
Client testimonials build trust. Some jurisdictions restrict attorney testimonials — check state bar rules.
Blog
Explainers on legal topics relevant to the practice. Avoid giving legal advice — frame as "general information, not legal advice." Disclaimers matter here.
Resources
Court links, government forms, checklists ("what to bring to your first meeting"). Useful for clients and great for search traffic.
A design that fits your brand
Authoritative, calm, trustworthy. Restrained rather than flashy. The design communicates competence and stability — not creativity.
Cool neutrals — navy, dark slate, charcoal. Conservative accent: burgundy, forest green, or gold. Low saturation. White or very light gray background. Avoid bright or playful colors.
Classic stack (serif headings — Georgia) for tradition and authority. Sans-serif body for readability. Heading weight 600–700. Bold but not aggressive.
Your business tools, connected
I integrate with the platforms you already use — styled links, not embedded scripts. Your site stays fast and private.
Monica CRM
Client relationship tracking. Good for solo practitioners and small firms.
Clio
Practice management with billing, time tracking, client portal. Expensive but purpose-built for law. B-Corp status is a plus. clio.com
Cal.com
For scheduling consultations. Self-hostable alternative to Calendly.
LawPay
Trust-account compliant payment processing for attorneys. Required in many jurisdictions when accepting client payments online.
Compliance handled
I know the regulations for your industry so you don't have to research them.
State bar advertising rules
Every state regulates attorney advertising. Common requirements: disclaimers ("This is an advertisement"), no guarantees of outcomes, no misleading specialization claims. Check the state bar's rules before publishing.
Client confidentiality
Never include client names, case details, or identifiable information without written consent. Testimonials require explicit permission.
IOLTA / trust accounting
If accepting retainers or client funds online, payment processing must comply with trust accounting rules. Use a compliant processor like LawPay.
Disclaimer
The website should include a disclaimer that content is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Add to footer or a dedicated page.
Accessibility
Websites for government-adjacent services face higher scrutiny. Ensure ADA compliance.
Content that keeps visitors coming back
Answers to common client questions, explainers on legal topics (written for non-lawyers), case study summaries (anonymized), team updates, community involvement, changes in the law that affect clients, "what to expect" process guides, checklists ("what to bring to your consultation"), seasonal topics (tax law in Q1, estate planning around holidays), local court updates.
Your industry calendar
I'll surface seasonal content ideas so your site stays timely and relevant.
- Law Day — ABA-sponsored. Community legal education, pro bono spotlights, "know your rights" content.
- National Pro Bono Week — Highlight pro bono work, community involvement, access to justice.
- Constitution Day — Relevant for civic-focused practices.
