Creating a website for a law firm can be challenging. Today, more and more attorneys are looking to the Internet as a reliable source of new client leads and, if you have done your research, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that there’s no shortage of so-called “law firm web designers” in the marketplace. And in most cases, the level of services offered varies greatly from company to company.
Many web design firms are founded or managed by graphic designers or developers and in 90% of the cases, designers are not developers, developers are not designers and neither of them have very much business or marketing experience.
LawRanker is owned and operated by results driven business professionals with many years of experience in design, development, sales and marketing.
Unlike many online “mega-providers” and “website factories”, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to law firm web design. We the take time to learn about your practice. We get to know your history, attorneys, professional staff, practice areas, types of clients you serve and, maybe most importantly, what your plans and aspirations are for future growth. It’s not until we understand the inner workings of your organization that we get to work building a website that is perfectly reflective of your practice.
With so many options to consider, how do you know that you’re making the right choice that is going to establish the best online presence for your organization.
Online success starts with a great website design and you should strive to find balance between creative design, site functionality, user experience and search engine optimization.
Just like with any large scale legal case, our web design process begins with a discovery phase. Prior to creating the first design mock up, we’ll closely examine your target market, existing website, content for the new site, marketing objectives and developmental requirements.
The website planning process consists of organizing all of your ideas, your objectives, and coming up with a development plan and timeline that will fulfill these requirements while remaining within budget.
The website architecture is created along with a sitemap, showing you all pages that need to be included in the design. Mock-ups are then created, which act as placeholders for various types of content, graphics, video and other features. This saves both designer and developer time, by creating a road map for the creation of your entire website. Design specifics are planned out such as colors and general aesthetics. Development items such as framework, programming languages, and the type of Content Management System (CMS) that will be used are also finalized.
Based on the mock-ups created during the planning phase, our designers begin the process of creating unique interfaces that not only support your branding efforts, but are also effective at engaging your online visitors and enhancing your online exposure. Our talented team does not look at your project solely from a deign or development perspective. They are trained to look at each client’s project from a business and lead generation perspective, where ROI is a key metric.
Once designs are finalized for the website’s front-end interface, our development team goes to work. They code the website page, then depending on the scope of the project, may add a Content Management System.
Responsive Website Design is the process of building websites that adapt and resize automatically to smart phones, tablets and desktops.
In case you haven’t realized it, mobile web browsing has now surpassed desktop browsing in popularity. Responsive web design has removed the need for a mobile website because responsive sites have the ability to scale up and down, regardless of device, including those that have yet to be invented. The industry has adapted, and adapted well. Google has taken steps from encouraging businesses to design responsive websites to downright punishing those that don’t.
WordPress is an open source content management system (CMS) that is used by millions of website owners and developers. WordPress is our favorite web design platform because it’s scalable, extremely customizable, and easy for our clients to dynamically update.
WordPress is the most widely used content management system on the Internet. With an extremely easy-to-manage administrative control panel, a great set of out-of-the-box features and a variety of widgets, themes and plugins available, WordPress is a great platform for blogs, professional websites and multi-site networks.
