Attorney Website Design
The design of your website is much more than just the graphics you use and the content you display. The foundation of your website design directly corresponds with how visitors view it, how easy it is for them to navigate, and even how they feel about your firm once they leave your site. Some of the most important changes to Google’s algorithms rest on mobile-friendliness and responsiveness. This means that you must ensure that your website can be viewed on mobile devices. If your website is not designed for mobile viewing, or you are unsure of its mobile-friendliness, call our attorney website design experts that can help.
Benefits of Mobile-Friendly Websites
Providing your users with a mobile-friendly website when they are searching for legal advice benefits them because they can easily access the information they need. As such, it also benefits your law firm because they will trust that you are professionals that can help with their legal issues and contact you for help.
Mobile website design also provides visitors with simple calls to action, and many different options for contacting your firm with just one tap, connecting you with visitors even sooner. Mobile website designs also include many different options for you, allowing you to choose the type of site that will work best for your firm.
Responsive Website Design vs. Separate Website
Over 90 percent of American adults today carry a smartphone and for many, it is their main medium for accessing the Internet. When working with our attorney website design experts, we will discuss the different options you have for creating a mobile-friendly website. The two main choices are responsive website design or a separate website.
A responsive web design will do just that. It will respond to the device that visitors and potential leads are using and allow them to view a site that is seemingly made just for that device. For most law firms, responsive web design is the best option because it can display your full site in a manner that is easy to access and navigate. However, there are instances in which a separate website is more appropriate.
A separate mobile website can still include buttons that allow users to call or email your law firm with just one tap, display a map with the location of your office, and access to all of your website content. However, separate mobile websites are typically more condensed versions of your main site, which is often not as ideal.
Responsive Web Design is Crucial
The world has gone mobile today, and most visitors access the Internet through their smartphone or tablet. Your website must be prepared for that, and be ready to provide each and every user with a good experience. Our attorney marketing experts will create a mobile-friendly website that requires very little panning, scrolling, and resizing. No matter where visitors are when they reach your site, they will view a professional site that is easy to access and navigate.
Full Website Audit
An attorney website audit is really just a checkup of your website. The online world is always changing and auditing your website provides actionable insights so you can have a strong web presence going forward. Our attorney website audit experts know how to conduct a thorough audit of your website and tell you what is working and what features need improvement, so you and your visitors get everything you need from it. With our expertise, we will conduct an audit on the most important practices the search engines measure today.
Search
During your attorney website audit, we will analyze the search engine optimization parameters on your site to determine if they fall in line with the algorithms of major search engines, such as Google and Bing. We will measure the optimization of images, the schema markup and website tagging, the number of inbound links to your website, and more. These measures will help you understand where your website appears within the search engines, and how many people are finding your site after conducting a search.
Mobile
As more and more people use mobile devices to search online, Google and the other search engines have placed an emphasis on mobile-friendliness, and they rank websites accordingly. During your attorney website audit, we will test how well your website displays and runs on mobile devices and suggest practices that can increase the responsiveness of your site.
Conversion
Conversion rates refer to the number of visitors that land on your site and take some type of action while there, whether that is emailing your law firm, or chatting live on the site. When analyzing your conversion, we will determine if your website has several different ways to contact your firm, and will also determine how active you are on social media platforms.
Speed
Visitors will only wait approximately three seconds for your website to load. If it does not fully load within that time, they will likely leave your site and head over to a competitor’s. When auditing the speed of your website, we will test how long it takes for your site to load and ensure page redirects are being used correctly and are running properly. Knowing how to improve the speed of your website’s loading time will not only make it more appealing to visitors, but will also catch the attention of the search engines.
Audience-Friendliness
Your website needs to be designed with your clients in mind. It should outline the practice areas you specialize in, include details about your firm, and always ensure a secure place for your visitors. Our attorney website audit will ensure that your site is user-friendly and instills trust in visitors.
