Legal clients buy standing. A firm that looks like it opened last year has a harder time charging what it is worth, which is the one case on this list where the old-fashioned direction outperforms the modern one.
Each one is a full site with every page working, the booking path and the trade's own tool, plus the SEO autopilot running in the corner. Open one, switch between them from the bar at the top, and copy the prompt when one fits.

A firm that looks like it opened last year has a harder time charging what it is worth, which is the one case on this list where the old-fashioned direction outperforms the modern one. askotter builds the site around that component set rather than around a theme: the direction and palette are chosen by the owner, and the pages themselves are written from the practice's own services, prices, hours and service area. The build, the hosting and the monthly work are one price, $99/mo self-managed or $600/mo managed, with no separate design or setup fee. The first draft comes back the same day and a person reviews every change before it publishes. A business wanting to browse finished themes and edit one itself is better served by Squarespace or Wix.

the components, in words
What goes on a law firm site, and why.
The studio above draws these. Here they are as text, which is the version worth reading if you are briefing someone else or building it yourself.
Case type selector
A divorce client and a car accident client want completely different pages. Routing them at the top is the whole job of a law firm homepage.
Case results
Numbers with a case type attached are the most persuasive thing a firm can publish, subject to your bar rules on outcome advertising.
Consultation request
People contact lawyers at odd hours and will not phone first. A short form captures the ones a phone-only page loses.
Attorney profile
Clients hire a person, so the profile leads with years admitted, the bar and the law school they attended.
Client testimonial
Process and communication is what clients complain about, so that is what the testimonial should answer.

Do you have a law firm website template I can buy?
There is no theme file to buy. askotter offers eight design directions for law firms and attorneys, each shown as a full sample site, and a prompt for each one that starts your own build in the askotter builder. The pages are then written from your own services, prices and hours, so two law firms and attorneys starting from the same direction end up with different sites. If you want a theme file to buy and edit yourself, Squarespace and Wix sell that well.
How long does a law firm website take to build?
The first full draft comes back the same day you describe the business or hand over the URL of the site you already have. Launch is typically five to ten working days, most of which is you reviewing pages rather than us building them. There is no discovery phase and no queue behind four other clients.
Can you rebuild the site I already have?
Yes. Give us the URL. The agents read every page, keep what is still earning its place, such as your bio, your reviews and copy you spent a weekend on, and rebuild the rest around the component set. The URL structure is preserved where it can be and redirects are written where an address has to change, so the rankings come with you.
Can I change the look after launch?
Yes, by message. "Try the navy palette" or "make the headings serif" goes into the same text thread as every other change, a preview comes back, and it publishes when you reply yes. Rolling it back is another message.
Does the design affect whether I rank?
Less than the structure does. What moves rankings for law firms and attorneys is a page per service rather than one services page, real questions as headings, prices and service areas written as text rather than sitting in an image, and schema that matches what is visible. All of that is built in whichever direction you pick. Speed matters too: the sample sites here compress every photo and lazy-load anything below the first screen, and the SEO panel on each one shows the checks it passes.
