A law firm website that makes the first call easy
People look for a lawyer when something important is at stake. PressUp explains what you handle and who you are in plain language, and makes asking for a consultation simple.
What PressUp can put on your site
What a law firm website needs
It's a starting point, not a template: ask for more in the chat, and change any of it later.
-
1
Practice areas
Divorce, custody, estate planning: each explained in words a worried client understands, with the questions people bring to you. PressUp drafts a section for each area, and a full page for any you ask for.
-
2
Your attorneys
Clients hire a person, not a letterhead. Give each attorney a profile with their experience, bar admissions, education and the languages they speak, with a photo you upload in the chat.
-
3
How fees work
Cost is often the first worry. Say whether the first consultation is free and whether you charge flat fees, hourly rates or a contingency fee, and PressUp explains it plainly before anyone has to ask.
-
4
Client reviews
Bar rules on testimonials vary, so check yours first. Where they allow it, PressUp can email clients to ask for a review, and your site shows only the reviews each client agreed to publish.
-
5
Consultation requests
A short form for the kind of matter and the best way and time to reach the person, delivered to your PressUp inbox and your email. Ask only what you need to call them back.
-
6
Required notices
An attorney advertising label, a note that the site is not legal advice, a no attorney-client relationship notice: you write the wording your bar requires, and PressUp places it where you ask.
How it works
From a few sentences to a live website
-
Describe your business
Say what you do and where, in your own words. Add screenshots of sites you like, if you have some in mind.
-
Get a site made for it
PressUp plans the pages, writes the words and designs a look that suits your business. It usually takes a few minutes.
-
Change it by asking, then publish
“Add a service.” “Make it feel more premium.” Ask in plain words, undo anything, and publish when you're happy.
Getting found
How people find a lawyer
Most people start with a search like "divorce lawyer near me" or "estate planning attorney" and a city, then compare a few firms before they call. Your site needs to appear in those searches and give them a reason to pick you.
-
A page for each practice area
Child custody, divorce and prenuptial agreements are separate searches from people with separate worries. Ask for a page per practice area and PressUp writes each one in plain language.
-
Pages for where you practice
If your clients come from several towns or counties, a page for each one, naming the courthouse you appear in, helps people there find you when they search close to home.
-
Avvo, Justia and Google
Many clients check Avvo, Justia or your Google Business Profile before they call. Keep your name, address and phone the same on every one, and link each profile to your site.
Every PressUp site comes with the basics search engines look for: a title and description for each page, your business details in a form Google can read, a sitemap, pages that load fast on phones, and Bing told about your changes when you publish.
Questions
Questions about a law firm website
Do I need a website for my law firm?
Most people research a lawyer before they call, even after a referral from a friend. A site that explains what you handle, who you are and how to reach you helps them feel sure about that call, and lets them ask for a consultation at night or on a weekend.
What should a law firm website include?
Your practice areas in plain language, attorney profiles with bar admissions, how fees and the first consultation work, your office and hours, a consultation form, and the notices your bar requires. Your first draft has these, and you can add more by asking, like a page of common questions for each practice area.
Can PressUp write my attorney advertising disclaimer?
No, you write it. Rules on attorney advertising, disclaimers and testimonials differ from state to state, so use the wording your bar requires. Tell PressUp where it goes, like the footer, beside the consultation form or at the top of every page, and it places your words there. PressUp does not review them for compliance.
Can clients pick a consultation time on the site?
Yes, if you use Calendly, Acuity Scheduling or Setmore: PressUp embeds your calendar on the page. Without one, the consultation form asks for a preferred day and time, and you confirm by phone or email. Either way, run your usual conflict check before the meeting.
How much does a law firm website cost with PressUp?
Building it is free, with no card: your site on a pressup.site address, with hosting and 20 credits to change it by chat. Pro, at $29 a month, adds your own domain, 200 credits a month and as many sites as you like.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Connect a domain you already have, or find and buy one through PressUp, and PressUp points it at your site and sets up its security certificate.
How do I change the site later?
Ask in plain words in the chat, like "add a new service" or "change my phone number". PressUp makes the change, you look it over, and you can undo anything. Publish when you're happy.
