When it comes to law firm website design, there are a lot of factors to consider.
What impression do you want someone to have of your firm? In today’s digital world, that impression is much more likely to come from the first glance at the website than from your actual office building.
Therefore, it’s vitally important to make sure your website – especially the homepage – gives off the look and feel that you want it to.
In 2023, anyone can make you a website. But simply having a site isn’t enough. It needs to look good – and it needs to serve the purpose that you want it to serve. Is it a lead driver? Is it a knowledge hub in your niche area of law? Is it a place for clients to submit payments? Or is it all of the above and more?
To help with your decision, we’ve developed a list of the 25 best custom law firm websites of 2023. But before you choose, a quick caveat. These sites all look great. But, make sure you do some technical auditing before you ask one of the associated companies to make you the same site.
A quick indicator of success is a Google Pagespeed Insights test. If a site can look great AND score a high mobile page speed score, then you have a provider that can move the needle for you. And speaking of mobile, just because a site looks great on the desktop doesn’t mean it always transfers to mobile. Always think about the mobile experience!
More on the importance of page speed here. But on to the list!
