Web design for legal, explained
What should a law firm website do?
A law firm website should help a prospective client decide quickly: which matters the firm handles, who the attorneys are, how the first consultation works and what it costs, in clear language that stays within the LPC's rules.
Clients usually look for an attorney when something has already happened: a dispute, a divorce, a property transfer or a business deal. They want to know quickly whether the firm handles their kind of matter, who they will deal with and what the first step costs.
Clients search by practice area and location, compare two or three firms, then call or send an enquiry. Practice area pages and attorney profiles usually matter most.
What customers check
How do clients choose a law firm online?
People rarely browse for an attorney for pleasure. They arrive with a specific problem and a fair amount of stress. A law firm website that names their matter, explains the process step by step and shows who they will actually work with gives them the confidence to make contact, while staying within the Legal Practice Council's rules.

Can prospective clients send documents through the website?
Yes, through a secure upload rather than email. It keeps sensitive documents in one place and supports your POPIA and privilege obligations from the first contact.
