Lawyer Website Design

I was searching for information about lawyer website design and I came across this article on Law.com called 6 Tips for Surviving the Legal Market for the Next 6 Years.  Top of the list – tip #1 – is “Redesign Your Website”. I have to concur with the arguments made … it’s all about being mobile friendly. As the article points out, the first time you meet your clients these days is when they visit your website. Google’s data shows that the majority of web searches are now being conducted on mobile devices. If your site isn’t mobile friendly prospective clients may bounce right off your site and go to a competitor’s site that is mobile friendly. To make matters worse, Google is now penalizing non-mobile friendly sites in the search results from mobile devices. If you’re not mobile friendly, you may actually rank lower than a site that is mobile friendly in the Google search results on a mobile device. I think I’ve made my case – if you’re a lawyer and you depend upon the phone ringing to bring in new clients, your website must be mobile ready.

The good news is that a full blown redesign may not be necessary. First, let’s figure out if you have a problem or not – let’s review the evidence so to speak – and then let’s talk about solutions.
