Just fill in the form above to get prices from local agencies to you that have experience in web design for solicitors.
They are an essential part of our world these days, and all firms of solicitors, no matter how niche, need to have a one that is reflective of their practise.
Solicitors are best out-sourcing design work rather than look to handle it in-house, or use a free website program, as the legal website needs to look professional.
Your website is your shop window, you need to be more attractive than your competitors.
It is used to draw in new clients, for areas of law including personal injury, family law, property law etc.
Marketing for legal firms starts with your site, as the firm needs to be easily found on the internet.
Do you have a website brief to send to a few local web designers? A website brief can be very helpful, both for you and the various designers, if anything it is a starting point.
A website brief is not telling agencies what you want, but it is an outline of what you are looking for.
If anything it saves you having to repeat yourself multiple times when talking to different web design agencies in Liverpool.
Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:
There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.
Solicitors have the problem that many companies face when setting out to choose a web design agency; there are a lot of them, over 20,000 web agencies in the UK.
It is advisable to choose a designer with experience in web design for solicitors.
If they have designed websites for legal companies in the past (be it for solicitors, judicial services or barristers), then the probability is that they will produce a much more effective website for you.
It makes sense selecting someone that has legal marketing experience, rather than a designer that focuses on medical websites, for example.
A website is an investment and although the design work can be done at arms length, meeting with the website designer is very wise.
With virtual offices and websites these days, how do you know the web designer is what they claim?
They could be a student working from their parents’ house, or a web designer in India that has set up a UK site.
Meeting them also gives you a chance to talk through ideas, strategies and objectives face to face.
It gives you a chance to meet the team and to build a closer working relationship with them, which should lead to more value for money.
If you can find an expert designer that is local, that should make the scheduling of meetings a lot easier.
Once your website is created, this is where the hard work starts, you need to get people to it.
Since your website is your shop window, you need to have lots of people shopping there.
Not all website designers can help with this, this falls into digital marketing.
This is a two pronged attack, in the short term and long term.
In the short term, you need to quickly get people to your website, this can be done via online advertising (PPC). Some website designers do offer PPC, so it is worth asking. There are many PPC companies around, so we can get you quotes if you would like.
In the long term, SEO is what you need, to get you appearing in the organic search engine results. Since SEO is quite a specialist area of marketing, talking to an expert is wise. There are thousands of SEO companies in the UK, again something we can help you get quotes for.
One of the most powerful (and newest) forms of marketing is social media marketing.
Social media marketing has become a big part of the mix of SEO, on platforms such as Twitter and TikTok.
Have you considered using a social media influencer, to get you known to their thousands of followers? Many people now have a full time career as a social media influencer.
All creative website design agencies are different and charge different fees.
Prices for web design vary depending on the designer’s size, freelancers do tend to be cheaper, their experience and their overheads. If the web designer has expensive offices and a lot of staff, then obviously they will charge more.
In today’s world shopping around and comparing quotes has become quite normal, a necessity in order to ensure that you are not overpaying.
Web design is no different, and as all set their own rates, shopping around is very wise.
