Web Design for Law Firms
Most people looking for a lawyer start on Google, and decide whether to call within seconds of landing on your site. I build bilingual law firm websites that answer the questions a worried client actually has, and I have done it for a securities firm with more than 70 pages in two languages.
What a law firm website has to do.
A restaurant site sells an experience. A law firm site has to earn trust from someone having a bad week.
Bilingual, because your clients are
Nearly 900,000 people in Miami-Dade speak Spanish and speak English less than very well, about one in three residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey. A client deciding whether to trust you with something serious should not have to do it in their second language. I build both versions from day one, each with its own address Google can rank.
Practice areas that can actually rank
One page listing eight practice areas ranks for none of them. Each area needs its own page, written for the person searching that specific problem. That is most of the work, and it is the part that brings calls.
Attorney bios that do the convincing
Prospective clients read your bio before they call. Credentials, bar admissions, the cases you have actually handled, presented plainly, not buried in a PDF. This is the page that turns a search into a phone call.
Intake that respects confidentiality
A contact form on a law firm site is not a newsletter signup. It needs to work, it needs to reach you, and it needs to be clear about what submitting it does and does not create. I wire forms to a real endpoint and say so on the page.
Built knowing the Bar is watching
Florida Bar advertising rules constrain what a law firm site can claim. I will flag language that looks like a prohibited comparative or a results guarantee. I am not your compliance counsel, but I will not hand you copy that gets you a letter.
Someone who stays after launch
A law firm site that goes down, or whose contact form silently breaks, costs real clients. Website Care means I notice before you do, updates, backups, monitoring, and the small edits that pile up.
I have built exactly this.
Riera Law Firm is a securities arbitration practice in Coral Gables. I built their web presence: more than 70 pages across English and Spanish, practice-area pages for each claim type, attorney credentials, and the domain, DNS and email consolidated onto one dependable footing underneath.
They are still a client. That is the part worth paying attention to.
Common questions
How much does a law firm website cost?
Most custom law firm websites run between $2,500 and $9,000 USD. The range comes down to how many practice areas need their own page and whether the copy is written for you or supplied by you. You get an exact number after one conversation, not a proposal three weeks later.
Do you write the practice area content?
I can, and at the higher tiers it is included. Legal copy is a judgment call though, you know your practice and the Bar rules that apply to it. Most firms find the best result comes from me drafting and an attorney editing, rather than either of us working alone.
Is the Spanish version a real translation or a plugin?
Real. Each language gets its own address with proper hreflang, so Google indexes and ranks both, a translate widget gives you one page pretending to be two, and search engines are not fooled. The Spanish is written, never machine-generated.
Can you work with our existing site?
Often yes. Website Care plans start with a free health check, and I take over sites I did not build. If the foundation is sound, fixing it costs far less than replacing it, and I will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks for a focused site, four to six for a full practice-area build, six to ten for the largest. Firms with many practice areas take longer because the content is the work, not the design.
Let's talk about your firm.
Fifteen minutes, no pressure. Tell me what your firm does and who you want calling you, and I will tell you plainly what I would build and what it costs.
