Website Features

Here are some optional features that a solid legal website designer should be able to incorporate into your law firm's website.  While not absolutely necessary, these features can really improve a legal website design and should definitely be considered.

Attorney Videos

Legal website designers are able to incorporate videos into your site, which can be a compelling way to display the personality of your lawyers and make potential clients feel comfortable with your firm.  Legal website designers should either be able to offer video production services or be able to convert existing video into short clips which can be played from your site.  This tactic is proven to increase your call volume and client confidence, so check it out today!

Flash Animations

Your home page is often the most important part of your website, as it is the first impression of your firm that visitors will receive.  Add a flash animation to your home page can really add that extra bit of professionalism and quality that will convince visitors to stay and investigate your firm.  Whether it’s a flash menu that pops out and displays menu items, or an animated header which displays moving text or images, a lawyer web designer should be able to give your site that that extra touch it needs.

Lawyer Web Applications

Website applications can be important for the functional nature of your law firm’s website.  Good designers can incorporate applications such as calendars with RSVP systems, online payment submissions, online forms which reduce client office waiting time, job applications and more.  These applications must be easy to use and non-technical so that all potential clients and law firm staff can use them with ease.

Lawyer Blogs

Lawyer blogs, or blawgs, are becoming increasingly important for law firm websites.  A blog enables your firm to post information on the latest decisions it has received as well as less formal information such as attorney promotions, staff hiring, marriages, and other information which will give your firm personality.  In addition, this provides a constant stream of content to your site which will keep you high on the results list.  A top legal website designer can create a pleasing layout for your blawg and populate it with professional content.
