Best Practices Law Firm Websites in 2013 by PaperStreet

All Lawyers Need a Great Web Presence Tips for 2013 Marketing 1.Mobile 2.Design 3.Content 4.Development 5.Search Optimization

Mobile Mobile is over 10% of all traffic. Mobile specific design vs. Responsive design. Mobile Design: One column, Logo, Menu, Text and Contact Info. All Static. Responsive changes from multi-columns to single on the fly. Similar design.

ArcherLaw.com is Responsive

Design & Branding Message: Clear sentence of what your firm does. Imagery: Reinforce your message. Cityscapes, Gavels and tired imagery is a fall back only. Consistency: All your pages have the same style. Calls to Action: Guide users to contact you! Headlines & Subheads: Headlines that are vital for information hierarchy. Use H1 – H3 at least. Typography: Your headlines and paragraphs need to be readable. No more tiny fonts.

DKLaw.net has a clear brand and message

Design & Layout Mobile: Must consider tablets and mobile. Modern: Layout should be clean and easy to use. Content: Organized and in a pyramid structure. Home Page: Most important content goes here. Sub Pages: Consistent layouts and easy to find. Footer: Repeat contact info, CTAs and menus. Navigation: Get to all pages quickly and easily.

Staas & Halsey – Very Organized

Design & Interaction Menus: Create obvious rollover effects. Features: Show/hide or expanding menus. Buttons: People like buttons. Calls to Action: Guide the user! Clickable: Make sure all items are clickable. Social Icons: Utilize social media icons.

SearcyMassTorts.com Everything is clickable, easy to digest.

Content: Simple Ways to Improve Taglines, headlines, subheads and photos. Break up long run-on sentences. Include SEO Phrases! Edit to fit audience. Cut any outdated/factually incorrect info. Case Examples!!! Add a FAQ section. Assign each attorney one page (or two).

Farr Law firm Breaks Up its Copy (and ranks high in search)

Content: When Writing, Keep in Mind Readers skim; they don’t read Your Content is too wordy already – cut down. Make your content client-centric. Don’t just write about your business. Use FAQs, Q&A, How To, Case Studies, Top 10s. Use tables, charts, maps, lists, images, and diagrams. Make headlines, sub headlines, and sub-sub headlines. Use bullet points and short paragraphs for skimming. Don’t Duplicate. Don’t steal and don’t regurgitate.

Bodoff Shows His Client Focus with a Case Study

Content: Show, Don’t Tell One basic tenet of good writing is to “show, don’t tell.” Who isn’t committed to success? Overused phrases like “highly experienced,” “knowledgeable” and “committed to success,” apply to nearly all firms. Quantify: Back up such statements in concrete, quantifiable terms to create stronger, persuasive copy. Demonstrate: Board-certification, Decades of practice, Representative transactions, High-profile clients, Publications and Speaking Engagements

Bodoff Backs Up His Experience Claim

Development & Usability Menus - Consistent, Logical, Clearly Labeled. Prominence – Put what is important up high on the page and don’t require scroll. Links - Link colors should be readily apparent. Justification - Do not justify paragraphs of text

StockBrokerLitigation.com Has Everything Above the Fold

Development & Perfect Pages Who, what, where, when, why and how. Have a desired action on each page (click, educate, download, contact). Don’t emphasize everything, as everything then loses importance.

InCourt.com has Clear Calls to Action

Development & Technology Create a Responsive Design W3C Validate your Code Use Google Analytics & Google Webmaster Tools Check for Broken Links, Check your Contact Forms Create Title Tags, Meta Description Tags, Alt Tags Create Rich Snippets

Use Google Analytics

SEO Research Brainstorm all possible keyword phrases for your practice and geographic areas. Use Google Keyword Suggestion Tool to vet your brainstorming sessions and improve ideas. Finalize an active keyword phrase list and a passive keyword phrase list (long tail). Active: Use in your copy, title tags, meta description, headlines and off-site link building. Passive: Prepare copy to target specific phrases.

Use Google Keyword Suggestion Tool

SEO Content Avoid Keyword Stuffing, Cloaking, Hiding Text and Spammy Tactics. Create a pyramid structure of your content. Make sure each keyword phrase you are targeting has its own page of content. SEO your Headlines or Subheads. Make Headlines Easy to Understand.
