Law Firm Website Design in Chicago
People looking for a lawyer want to know three things quickly: whether you handle their kind of case, whether they can trust you, and how to reach you today. We design law firm websites for Chicago attorneys and practices that answer those questions on every page. Law firm websites start at $1,200.
What law firm website design should include
- A page for each practice area
- Personal injury, family law, estate planning, business law or criminal defense: one page each, explaining who you help and what happens next.
- Attorney profiles
- Photos, bar admissions, education and the cases each attorney handles, written for clients rather than other lawyers.
- A clear intake path
- Click-to-call, a short case-evaluation form and a callback promise your office can keep.
- Office and contact details
- Address, parking, transit, hours and how to book a consultation for each office.
- Results and reviews you can publish
- Client reviews and case results only where your state’s attorney advertising rules allow, with any required disclaimers.
- Answers to common questions
- Fees, timelines and what to bring to a first meeting, in plain language.
Attorney website design that brings in the right cases
A good intake form filters as well as collects. Ask for the type of matter, the county and how soon the client needs help, and route each inquiry to the attorney or paralegal who handles it. Keep the form short on a phone, and say what happens after someone submits it.
Law firm SEO starts with practice-area pages
People search by problem and place: “divorce lawyer Chicago”, “estate planning attorney Naperville”. A separate, detailed page for each practice area and office gives Google a clear match for those searches, and an accurate Google Business Profile for each office covers the map results (Google’s local ranking tips). We set up page titles, structured data and a sitemap at launch, and link each page to the attorneys who handle that work.
Ethics and confidentiality
Attorney advertising rules limit what a firm can say about results, specialization and testimonials. We draft carefully and leave final approval of every claim to you. Contact forms carry a short notice that sending a message doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship, and we keep forms to the details you need to call back.
Planning a law firm website project
Start with a list of practice areas in order of importance, the attorneys who handle each, and the offices you want to show. Gather bar admissions, headshots and any reviews or results you’re allowed to publish. We then agree a page plan, write or edit the practice-area pages with your attorneys, and build the intake forms around how your office actually returns calls.
What a law firm website costs
Law firm websites start at $1,200. The total depends on the number of practice areas, attorneys and offices, and whether we write the copy. Hosting and maintenance are quoted separately. See web design pricing.
Law firm website FAQs
Can you write the practice-area pages?
Yes. We write them in plain language from an interview with your attorneys, and an attorney approves each page before it goes live.
Can the website connect to our intake or case management software?
In most cases, yes. Tell us which system you use and we’ll confirm what its forms or integrations allow before quoting.
Do you design websites for solo attorneys and small firms?
Yes. A solo practice can start with a homepage, one page per practice area, an attorney profile and a contact page, then add pages as the practice grows.
Will you include a disclaimer on the site?
Yes. We add the notices your firm needs, such as attorney advertising and no attorney-client relationship notices, using wording you approve.
