The exact priorities change by business, but these are the kinds of jobs the site should handle clearly.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Website questions for law firms.
These answers are general design guidance. The actual site should be adjusted to the specific business.
What should a law firm website lead with?
The primary practice focus, who the firm helps, enough credibility to continue, and a clear way to request a consultation.
Should every practice area have its own page?
Major practice areas usually deserve dedicated pages when the firm can provide useful, specific information rather than thin keyword pages.
Can a law firm website promise results?
It should avoid unsupported guarantees. Claims, case results, testimonials and advertising language need to follow the firm’s applicable professional and jurisdictional rules.
