Law Firm Website Checklist for Small Firms

A small law firm website needs a page for each practice area, a profile for each attorney, a consultation request on every page and the disclaimers your state bar expects, all loading quickly on a phone.

Structure

  • One page per practice area, written for the client’s situation
  • One profile per attorney: photo, admissions, education, focus
  • An about page describing how the firm works
  • A contact page for each office with map and hours

Getting the inquiry

  • Phone number in the header, tappable on mobile
  • A short consultation form: name, contact, type of matter, brief description
  • A notice not to send confidential information before engagement
  • What happens after the form is sent, and how soon you respond

Disclaimers and notices

  • Content is general information, not legal advice
  • Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship
  • “Attorney Advertising” where your state requires it
  • No promises or implications of results; check your state’s rules on testimonials and past outcomes

Technical

  • Mobile PageSpeed in the green
  • Legal service schema markup
  • Name, address and phone identical to your Google Business Profile
  • Redirects from every old address if you are redesigning
