Why a Website?
Here are the primary reasons why you should
have a legal website for your legal practice:
NECESSITY: Over 1 BILLION
people world-wide are using the internet. Almost three times
as many Americans go online for legal information, than did
six years ago. 1
These are numbers you can’t afford to ignore. It is
axiomatic that online presence is no longer an option for
an attorney or law firm; it’s a necessity. Simply put,
without a website, your practice is in jeopardy. Not only
must you have a website but you must have a website that stands
apart from the crowd
NEW CLIENTS: If you are
interested in growing your practice, a legal website is critical.
Every day more and more prospective clients turn to the Internet
to search for a lawyer. Placing an add in the Yellow Pages
was the most cost-effective marketing tool for getting in
front of potential client…a decade ago. Those days are
long gone. Today, the majority of prospective clients are
online. Help them see why they should choose your practice
over others with a premium website.
PROFESSIONALISM & PRESTIGE: Clients
draw inferences about your practice based on many factors.
One of the most important factors leading to a professional,
trustworthy and reputable image is a premium website. A first-class
website effectuates the image of a first-class attorney or
law firm.
TIME, MONEY & EFFICIENCY: Your
website can include information about your location, directions,
office hours, making appointments, and other commonly requested
information which saves your office staff significant time,
namely by reducing the amount of time they spend on phone
calls and paperwork. You may even use your website to deliver
client intake forms to your clients, prior to their initial
visits.
24/7 AVAILABILITY: The allure
of a legal practice website is that it’s on call 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. It perpetually provides general
information, instructions and education, on your behalf. Moreover,
since your website is available 24/7, clients can learn about
you and your practice when it is convenient for them - without
taking up your valuable time.
