The Design Philosophy

A law firm site is not a portfolio piece.

Award-winning agency websites lose cases. They look beautiful in design publications and convert at 0.4%. The job of a law firm site isn't to impress other designers, it's to take a stranger in a stressful moment (someone just hurt, just sued, just divorced) and give them enough trust to pick up the phone in under 60 seconds.

That requires a different design vocabulary: clean hierarchy, fast load, obvious next action, credibility signals above the fold, attorney bios that read like real humans, and zero friction between "I should call someone" and the firm's phone number. Everything else is in service of those goals.

What our law firm web design does differently

We start from the intake page and work backwards. Every page, every CTA, every photo serves one of three jobs: building trust (so the visitor stays), reducing anxiety (so they're willing to reach out), or reducing friction (so they actually do). We design to those three jobs explicitly, and we measure against them monthly.

What you get vs. a $20K agency build

You get a custom design, no templates, no themes, built directly by the owner around your practice. You get faster delivery (7 days vs. 12 weeks). You get genuine SEO baked in from day one instead of bolted on after launch. And you get to keep everything when the relationship ends. The only thing missing is the agency markup.

Build Specs

What every site ships with.

Custom design, not a template

Every layout, color, and typographic choice is made for your firm. No theme marketplace, no cookie-cutter legal templates.

Sub-2-second mobile load

Core Web Vitals tuned. Real-world Lighthouse scores in the 95+ range on mobile, which translates to better Google rankings and more form fills.

Mobile-first responsive

Designed for the 360px phone first, then scaled up. Because that's where 70% of your traffic actually is.

Attorney bios that convert

Person schema, credentials, jurisdictions, representative results, professional photo brief, turned into pages that build trust and rank for the attorney's name.

Practice-area pages built for intent

One page per practice area, each one ranking for the specific search a potential client makes when they need that service.

Intake forms wired to your tools

Connected to Clio, MyCase, Lawmatics, or whatever you use. Confirmation emails, lead routing, the works.

Hosting, SSL, maintenance included

Lightning-fast managed hosting and security updates included as long as you're on the plan. No surprise hosting bills.

SEO foundation from day one

Schema markup, sitemap, robots, meta tags, internal linking, image optimization. All the technical SEO that most agencies bolt on later, built in from launch.

The Process

7 days from kickoff to launch.

  • Day 1, Discovery call

    30 minutes covering your practice areas, target client, current site state, intake workflow, and what success looks like 6 months from now.

  • Day 2, Content draft

    We write the homepage, every practice-area page, and attorney bios, based on the discovery call, your existing materials, and competitive analysis.

  • Day 3, Design review

    You see the homepage hero, attorney bio template, and practice-area page template. One round of feedback, locked in same day.

  • Days 4–6, Full build

    Every page built, intake forms wired, photography placed, schema markup added, Core Web Vitals tuned.

  • Day 7, Launch

    Final review, DNS cutover, redirects from the old site, analytics installed. Live before end of day.

  • Month 2+, Ongoing

    Site adjustments, new pages, copy tweaks, SEO work, and hosting all included in the monthly plan. The build is one fee; everything after is $150/month.

Web Design FAQ

What law firms ask about our web design.

Three things, in order: (1) the page loads in under 2 seconds on mobile, (2) the first screen tells a visitor exactly what kind of cases the firm handles and how to start, and (3) the attorney bios feel like real people with verifiable credentials, not stock copy. Everything else, color palette, animations, photography, is decoration around those three.

Sites by Harris charges $1,500 for the full build (or $2,750 annually with year-one SEO included). National legal-web agencies typically quote $8,000–$30,000 for a comparable site. The difference is salespeople, account managers, and project managers, not design quality or technical depth.

Yes. The fastest way is to request a free landing page mockup, we'll redesign your homepage hero specifically for your firm, and you can see our design approach applied to your real practice. No commitment to anything after.

Yes, and mobile is where it matters most. Over 70% of legal search traffic is mobile, and Google indexes the mobile version of every site first. Every site we build passes Core Web Vitals on mobile and renders correctly down to 360px width.

Yes. You own the code, the content, the hosting account, and the domain. If you ever cancel, you keep everything, we'll even help you migrate to another host. No proprietary platform lock-in, no ransom situations.

Seven days from kickoff to launch for the standard build. We move fast because we specialize, we're not learning your industry on your dime. Discovery call, content draft, design review, build, and launch all happen in one tight week.

Custom design (not a template), all attorney bio pages, practice-area pages, intake form integration with whatever case management system you use, hosting, SSL, Core Web Vitals tuning, schema markup for SEO, and ongoing maintenance. The setup is one fee; everything after is the monthly plan.
