Not all lawyer website companies are created equal. In that regard, web development firms are like anything else in the business world -- highly diverse in both skill and service. To illustrate this point, we'd like to share a few of the things that make us different. Here are 10 key advantages to our web design services.
1. Search Engine Friendly
We build search-engine-friendly websites. From the website's overall structure to the individual elements found on each page, we will make your website easy for search engines to find, navigate, read and evaluate. This only makes sense, because our clients usually hire us to help with search engine optimization after the website is built.
2. Built With Marketing in Mind
Some design firms create websites to win design awards. That kind of thinking has its place in this world, but it should not be applied to a business website. We use design to (A) enhance your professional image, (B) make your website easy to use, and (C) support the business goals of your website -- namely, to help you generate business via the website.
3. Built for Easy Maintenance
We develop websites using PHP includes to make them easier to manage going forward. This minimizes the costs associated with future maintenance.
4. We Showcase Your Content
We build our websites around content, instead of trying to "shoehorn" the content into a pre-established design. We understand that content is one of the most important aspects of your website. It's what inspires trust among your readers and makes them more inclined to contact you. We will build your website with this in mind.
5. Adherence to Current Web Standards
When we build websites for lawyers and law firms, we do so with valid HTML code. In other words, our websites will pass the HTML validation tests created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the very organization that dictates web code standards. This means that your website will display and function properly in all Internet browsers, which has a direct and positive impact on people's impression of you!
Like the websites we build for our clients, this website uses valid HTML web coding. You should demand this of your web design firm.
6. High Standards for Usability
If people cannot use your website, they will bail out faster than you can say "back button." Websites that are hard to use show disrespect for website visitors. These websites have a "figure it out yourself" attitude that greatly reduces their overall success (and profitability). We have extremely high standards of usability, as you may have noticed from our own website and our demo / example websites. Every one of our client websites undergoes a usability review by Brandon Cornett, who is formally trained and professionally experienced in all aspects of web usability.
7. Blog Integration Available
We are big proponents of lawyer blogs -- so much, in fact, that we have dedicated an entire chapter of our Web Smart Lawyer book to the subject of blogs and blogging. We are also expert at integrating blogs onto a lawyer website. If you choose to have a blog added onto your website, we will carry over the website's "look and feel" onto the blog. The blog and website will also be linked to one another, so that people can easily go back and forth as needed.
8. Actual Customer Service
Customer service is one of the biggest differentiators among lawyer web design firms. Some design firms are technically talented but "drop the ball" when it comes to proper service. We set the bar higher in this department, mainly by keeping our clients well informed at each step of the process.
9. Timely Delivery of Product
Getting a new website can be exciting. Most people can't wait until their website is up and running, so they can put it on business cards, show it to colleagues, etc. We understand and encourage this kind of excitement. So while we always put product quality first, we do our best to ensure product timeliness as well.
10. Expertise Behind the Product
Who better to build your new website than the guy who wrote the book on website marketing for lawyers? Brandon Cornett is heavily involved in all projects we complete. No website or blog goes live until it has his personal "seal of approval."
