Law firm websites that earn the call.

Most law firm websites are interchangeable — same stock photos, same vague practice-area lists, same impossible-to-scan biography pages. Prospects don't choose firms that way. We build sites that read credible, communicate authority by category, and convert intake calls through clear, structured practice-area pages.

(01) — Why law firms

Law firm web design has unique trust constraints. Prospects are usually anxious, often Googling on a phone, and choosing partly on signals that have nothing to do with legal substance — does the firm look established, do the lawyers feel approachable, does the intake process feel professional. The site is doing all three jobs simultaneously.

On the structural side, what wins is practice-area architecture (one strong page per area you actively litigate or transact in, not a 14-area generic list that gets you ranked for none), lawyer bios that read more like profiles than CVs, case-result presentation that respects the rules of professional conduct, and intake-form workflows that feel like talking to a person.

We've worked with BC and Canadian firms across litigation, family, real estate, immigration, corporate and personal injury. The pattern of what wins is consistent; the tone and emphasis shifts per practice area.

(02) — What we ship

The work that actually
moves bookings.

Practice-area architecture

One strong page per practice you actively want clients for, with unique copy, real outcomes (where ethics allow), and intake CTAs designed for that practice's funnel.

Lawyer bios that convert

Real headshots, plain-English approach, signature cases, recognitions — formatted to be scanned in 30 seconds, not read like a 10-page LinkedIn profile.

Intake workflows

Practice-aware intake forms, conflict-check routing, after-hours fallbacks, and integration with your case management system (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, etc.).

Insights and writing program

Structured place for the firm's writing — case commentary, regulatory updates, plain-English explainers. The category-authority engine that compounds over years.

Local SEO + Legal schema

LegalService schema, AttorneyService entities, Google Business Profile for each office, jurisdictional citations, bar-association linkages.

Accessibility + compliance

WCAG 2.2 AA from day one, jurisdiction-aware disclaimers, cookie banners compliant with the rules in the provinces you operate in.

(06) — Common questions

What law firms
actually ask.

How is law firm web design different from generic professional services?+
Trust constraints are tighter; rules of professional conduct constrain claims you can make; practice-area architecture matters more than service-line architecture. Generic professional-services agencies miss the third one most often.
Can you handle multiple practice areas?+
Yes — that's the right approach. One strong page per practice area you actively want clients for, each with its own funnel logic, intake form, and SEO targeting. Generic 'we do everything' pages rank for nothing.
Do you integrate with our case management system?+
Yes — Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball and a handful of others. Most integrations are a website-form-to-CMS intake pipeline that creates a matter (or pending matter) automatically, with conflict-check routing.
Will the site be compliant with bar advertising rules?+
We design with compliance in mind — Law Society of BC rules for our BC-based firm clients, equivalent rules for firms in other provinces. We can't replace your in-house compliance review, but we won't ship copy that creates obvious issues.
What does law firm web design cost?+
Boutique firm builds typically run CA$25,000–CA$60,000. Mid-size firms with 5–20 lawyers and multiple practice areas land CA$50,000–CA$150,000. Multi-office regional firms scale higher. Local/practice SEO retainers add CA$2,000–CA$6,000/month.
How long does a law firm web design project take?+
Twelve to sixteen weeks is typical because of the content load — lawyer bios, practice-area copy, case studies and insights all need careful drafting and review. Smaller boutique builds can land in eight.
