Tips To Create An Effective Attorney Website For Your Law Firm

You might have been curious to know how to create an effective attorney website for your law

firm. Well, this article, you will get to familiarize yourself with some useful tips. Go through

them with an apt attention so that you are able to create an effective attorney website.

Navigation should be as simple and easy as getting into a well-planned store. If you have

a preference between cool and beautiful and standardized and functional, then you

need to go with the latter every time. It simply takes people 1.5 seconds for cool and

beautiful to wear off quickly. Remember that navigation should be almost same on

every page. Flash should not be used. Fancy drops downs with convoluted choices and

embedded photos can appear to be advertisements to some eyes and so should be

minimized. You should add a search box on every page and ensure the darn search

works. If people find your site but they are not able to find what they are searching for,

then it means that you have wasted your time and missed a chance.

You should make use of a little social media if not so much. It may be you do not have a

Twitter account and probably your Facebook page is perplexing, but what about

LinkedIn? If you do not have at least a page there, then you need to create one, join a

link, which directs visitors to your attorney bio page and then join back to LinkedIn from

your bio page of firm by placing their logo on it. With Bingo, you are now using social

media. This exercise will intensify awareness of your firm and its website particularly if

all attorneys do it at your firm. If you create your blog and link to your bio page from it,

then that is much better.

You should choose suitable images for website of your firm. Quite similar to a bad

reputation, a bad image is everlasting the psyches of prospective clients. Therefore, it is

important that any imagery, which is used for your representation on your website, is

not only professionally photographed, but is appropriate for your practice. Bear in mind

that an image should not cliché to the point of distraction. It should not allow the most

uncreative individual in the world the slightest doubt as to why such image symbolizes

personality of your firms, the work, which your firm does or shows where your firm is

situated. If feasible, fasten a phrase or slogan to each photo to convey your message

more accurately.
