People rarely look for a lawyer on a good day. They're dealing with a contract, a dispute, a business problem, a family matter or something they don't fully understand yet. When they land on your website, they're looking for reassurance: are you the right firm for this, and can they trust you?
I'm Aldrian, an independent web developer in the Philippines. I build websites for law firms, solo practitioners and legal service providers that look professional, explain your practice clearly and handle inquiries with care.
What potential clients look for
Practice areas in plain language
Corporate and commercial law, labor, family law, immigration, real estate, intellectual property, litigation, taxation. Each practice area deserves its own page explaining the kinds of matters you handle, in words a non-lawyer understands.
Attorney profiles
Clients choose lawyers, not just firms. Each attorney profile should include a professional photo, practice areas, education, bar admission and relevant experience, presented accurately.
Credibility signals
Your firm's history, notable areas of experience you're allowed to mention and professional affiliations. No inflated claims, no invented case counts.
A safe way to make contact
A consultation request form that collects only what's needed, with a clear note that sending an inquiry doesn't create a lawyer-client relationship. Phone, email and office location should be easy to find.
Professional design that builds trust
Law firm websites should feel calm, confident and organized. I focus on:
- Clean layouts with plenty of breathing room
- Readable typography for longer explanations
- Restrained colors that feel established, not trendy
- Clear navigation so clients find their practice area in one or two clicks
- Fast loading so the site feels solid and reliable
Handling inquiries with care
Inquiries to a law firm can contain sensitive information. Your website should:
- Use HTTPS everywhere
- Collect the minimum information needed in the first contact
- Send form data securely to the right people
- Include a clear privacy notice and consent, in line with the Data Privacy Act
- Include disclaimers about the nature of the inquiry
I handle the technical side and recommend your firm reviews the wording of disclaimers and privacy notices. More on my website security page.
Articles that show expertise
Many clients search for answers before they search for a lawyer. Questions like "how to register a business in the Philippines" or "what to do if my employer won't release my final pay." A legal insights or articles section lets your firm answer those questions, show expertise and build trust. I'll set up an easy way for your team to publish articles.
Being found by the right clients
People search for things like "labor lawyer Makati" or "immigration lawyer Cebu." To show up:
- Each practice area and office gets a dedicated page
- Attorney profiles are structured properly
- Structured data tells search engines you're a legal service
- Your Google Business Profile is complete and accurate
- Pages are fast and mobile friendly
Features I can build
- Practice area and attorney profile pages
- Consultation request forms with secure handling
- Online appointment booking for consultations
- Articles and legal insights section
- Multi-office location pages
- Careers page for associates and staff
- Secure client portal for sharing documents and updates
- Multi-language pages for foreign clients
For different kinds of legal practices
Full-service firms need clear structure across many practice areas and attorneys.
Boutique firms benefit from a focused site that goes deep on a few specialties.
Solo practitioners need a personal, credible site that makes it easy to book a consultation.
Notarial and document services benefit from clear service lists, requirements and office hours.
Honest and appropriate
Legal marketing has professional rules. I won't add fake testimonials, invented results or claims that could be misleading. I'll work with you to keep the content accurate and appropriate, and recommend you review final wording yourself.
Common problems on law firm websites
Practice areas described in legal language. A potential client doesn't know whether their problem counts as "civil litigation." Writing in plain terms, with examples of the situations you help with, makes it easier for them to recognize that you're the right firm.
Outdated attorney lists. Lawyers who left years ago still listed, new partners missing. An easy way to update profiles keeps your site accurate.
Contact forms that ask for the whole story. People may share sensitive details too early. A short first-contact form, with a note about confidentiality, is safer for everyone.
Slow, dated designs. A website that looks ten years old suggests a firm that hasn't kept up. A clean, modern design signals that you're organized and current.
No mobile layout. Many people first look up a lawyer on their phone, often in a stressful moment. If your site is hard to use on a small screen, you lose them.
