WEBSITES
FOR LAW
FIRMS
BLACKT builds websites for lawyers: credibility with clients and with fellow practitioners, compliance with the rules of the profession, and an easier first contact. A firm's website is its first plea: everyone reads it before they call.
WHAT YOUR SITE HAS TO PROVE
Three things, in a matter of seconds. Competence: clear practice areas, explained in your clients' language rather than the language of the lecture hall. Legitimacy: the partners' backgrounds, the bar, the languages, the publications. Accessibility: how a first meeting works, within what timescale, with which documents. Firms that spell that out receive fewer enquiries that go nowhere and more files worth having.
WHAT A FIRM'S WEBSITE CONTAINS
One page per practice area
Employment law and corporate law share neither the same clients nor the same searches. Each area deserves its own page, written for the people looking for it.
The lawyers' profiles
The most read page after the home page: background, bar, languages, publications, and a photograph worthy of the firm.
A careers page
Associates choose a firm the way they choose a home. The careers page says who you are and who you are looking for.
The terms of contact
First meeting, timescales, how fees work, all explained: transparency filters and reassures.
Compliance
Required notices, GDPR, the profession's communication rules: beyond reproach, because a lawyer whose own site is not in order is pleading against themselves.
THE METHOD
Framing
Interviews with the partners, a review of the applicable rules, the content architecture. We write first and draw afterwards.
Content
Pages written from your interviews, checked by the firm for the law and by us for clarity.
Design
Restrained and demanding: the rigour of your written work, applied to the screen. Built for you, never a law firm template.
Launch and follow-up
Local SEO, Google Business Profile, maintenance, measurement of incoming enquiries. The site keeps living; it is not delivered and abandoned.
A SITE THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU
People often ask to see our references, with an unspoken worry behind it: do all your sites look the same? The opposite is true. Even among lawyers, none of our projects looks like the others: the classic restraint of Simont Braun, the sharp identity of GovernLaw, the campaigning clarity of the Whistleblowing Center. Your site will look like none of the three. It will look like your firm.
FAQ.
How much does a website for a law firm cost?
Three levels. Ready to use with BLACKT Studio, on an existing design: from €99 excluding VAT a month, or €990 for the year, price shown up front. A bespoke website for the firm: from €3,500 excluding VAT. A bespoke website and the brand identity together: from €8,500 excluding VAT. The budget then depends on the number of practice areas, the languages and the integrations (appointment booking, online payment). We send the quote within 48 hours of a first 15 minute conversation.
How long before the site is live?
A firm's website is usually delivered in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how ready the content is and how many pages there are.
Who writes the content?
We do, with you: the pages are written from interviews, then checked by the firm for legal accuracy and by us for clarity. You approve every word before it goes live.
Does the site comply with the rules of the profession?
Yes. Honest information, no solicitation, no promise of a result, required notices in place: every piece of content is read with that in mind before publication.
Can you redesign the firm's existing site?
Yes, without losing what it has earned: every URL is kept or 301 redirected, the content that ranks is carried over and improved, and the rankings are tracked after launch.
