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 tends to build trust, because it shows you know what you are doing.

If you practise alone with one or two areas, €790 + VAT (Starter Package, up to 5 pages). With three areas or more, or a team, €1,490 + VAT (Professional Package, with a page per area, local SEO by area and neighbourhood, and a blog). If you start solo and grow, you pay only the difference. 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. Usually we talk it through first: you leave the first call with a clear range, I prepare the homepage design, and you pay 50% to continue only if you like it. If you already know what you want, you can buy the solo or the firm site directly: the 50% deposit starts the project. In every case, the domain (in your name) and first-year hosting are included.

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. In 2018 it fined the ICAB and eight other bar associations, and in January 2025 it fined the ICAB again for applying its orientative criteria as if they were a fee scale. 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 Estatuto General de la Abogacía (art. 20) sets out: advertising may not reveal anything covered by professional secrecy, incite litigation, promise results that do not depend solely on you, or mention clients without their consent.

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.

About 2 weeks for the solo site and 3 to 4 weeks for the firm site, counting from when we have your summary or 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 are unlikely to 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.
