This popular, global content management system (CMS) helps business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, novices and other individuals create beautiful, fully functional websites and blogs. It operates with an open source code. That way, anyone can contribute to the original software code. In fact, there’s approximately 65 million websites on WordPress, powering nearly 40% of the internet.

Our web design team and clients enjoy the flexibility and scalability of WordPress websites. You have far more control over design and site layout than with drag-and-drop or out-of-box options. WordPress also supports many SEO-friendly features that are integral to a comprehensive online marketing strategy. Once we build your site, launch and test it, you don’t need to do much for upkeep. But fortunately, when you do need to make revisions, editing is quick and easy. Also, because it’s a blogging site as well, you can easily add new blog content regularly – a vital part of digital marketing for attorneys. Plus, there are thousands of WordPress tutorials and massive amounts of “How-To” content to help you and your firm make the most of your site to help your law practice grow.

Good law firm web design calls for customization, effective functionality, good site loading speed, and simple SEO features to support and enhance digital marketing strategies. More than 50,000 plugins are available to enhance your WordPress legal website. But some of our favorites to meet our lawyer website design goals are Yoast SEO for technical SEO functions and content optimization, Askimet for spam filtering on blogs, and Redirection to improve site ranking and simplify 301 redirects. For speed enhancement, we like Smushi.it for image compression, WP Rocket for page caching, and WP Super Minify for file compression.

It’s not a problem, because we can easily migrate your current site to WordPress and WP Engine, our preferred hosting service.

We prefer WP Engine for hosting your WordPress website because it helps your firm meet some of the search engines’ most important requirements: it’s responsive; it maintains the rankings your site had before moving to WP Engine; it has daily automatic backups; includes malware scanning; and it offers a range of other features that support your site’s success and ease of use.

As with any website, vigilance and consistency are needed to address security risks and vulnerabilities. However, WordPress does have the tools you need to protect your site with security plug-ins and updates. The vast WordPress user base also plays a significant role in helping other website users with security. Developers worldwide are constantly monitoring their WordPress sites and alerting users to any security issues they discover. If you take action and keep your software updated, you can minimize risk.

As with so many aspects of law firm marketing, there’s no set price for legal website design services. If you’d like to know more about the cost of our WordPress websites for attorneys, we’re happy to discuss your needs and prepare a customized quote.
