Web design for law firms

Because receiving the details before running a conflict check is a problem for you, not for the person writing. If you already act for the other side, you have received confidential information you should not hold and you may be locked out of a matter you wanted.

The form asks for practice area, general situation and contact details. That is enough to run the check and call. The real conversation happens on the phone, protected by professional privilege. It comes with a visible note explaining this to the client: far from putting them off, it is one of the things that builds most trust, because it shows you know what you are doing.

A complete site starts at €1,490 + VAT (Professional Package, with practice-area pages, local SEO and published fees). With a client area for document upload it becomes a custom quote, with a floor of €2,500 + VAT.

The price is fixed before we start. What moves it is scope: how many practice areas get their own page and whether we integrate with your practice software. The first call ends with a clear range before you sign anything.

Yes, as long as they are your prices and are presented as yours.

The distinction matters: what the CNMC sanctioned was bar associations circulating collective fee scales, and the ICAB withdrew its orientative criteria for costs in 2024. An individual firm publishing its own ranges is not only lawful, it is pro-competitive. On the site they are always written as the firm's own indicative prices, never citing or implying a bar association scale, with the binding quote left to the engagement letter.

What the Código Deontológico de la Abogacía Española sets out: no unfair solicitation, no disguised advertising, and nothing presented as free when it is not.

In practice I avoid guaranteed outcomes, success percentages, identifiable client testimonials and specific case results: the outcome depends on a court, and your clients' confidentiality is not advertising material. Credibility can be conveyed without any of that, and it reads better for it.

No, and that is deliberate.

Matter data is among the most sensitive there is, and you already have software that holds it. Professional privilege does not exempt you from the GDPR, it modulates it: you remain the controller. I build the client-facing layer (acquisition, triage and, where needed, an area for uploading documents once the engagement letter is signed), storing no strategy and no evidence.

Between 3 and 4 weeks for the complete site, counting from when we have the copy and the photos.

The part that takes longest is usually gathering the firm's material: team photos, bar registration numbers and deciding which areas get their own page. If that is to hand, it moves quickly. A client area adds another week or two.

Look at two things: whether you appear on Google by practice area, and what your form asks for.

If you have a single “areas” page with a list, you will not rank for “employment lawyer Barcelona”, which is where the searching happens. And if your form has an open field asking for the case, that is the first thing I would change, new site or not. If you already do both, you may not need a rebuild, and I will tell you so.
