Law firm website design and SEO built around how clients search and what the bar allows

People look for a lawyer by searching for their problem. Webbify builds practice-area pages for those searches, keeps the inquiry path short and safe, and treats every results statement, comparison, and credential as something the firm reviews and approves before it goes live.

What is different

Three things a law firm site has to get right.

Advertising rules, search behavior, and an inquiry path that protects the firm as well as the client.

The website is lawyer advertising

Every state bar regulates how lawyers describe their services, and a firm website falls under those rules. In Texas that is Part VII of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. The site has to be built so that every claim on it can pass the firm’s own review.

People search by problem, not by firm

A prospective client searches for their situation: a car accident, a divorce, a contract dispute, a question about Texas law. Each practice area the firm wants to grow needs its own page, and the educational content has to answer real questions without giving legal advice.

Intake has to protect the firm

A contact form that invites someone to explain their whole case can collect confidential details before a conflict check has been run. The inquiry path should ask for enough to call back and no more, and say clearly that contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Page architecture

The structure a law firm site needs

One page per practice area the firm wants to grow, real attorney pages, and educational content that helps without advising. No page exists only to hold a keyword.

  • One page per practice area the firm actually wants to grow, each written for the situations people search for, not one page per synonym
  • Attorney bio pages with real bar admissions, education, and practice areas, and credentials stated exactly as held
  • Educational articles that answer common questions in general terms, with a clear note that they are not legal advice
  • Office and location information matched to a Google Business Profile for each real office, never for addresses the firm does not staff
  • A short inquiry form that collects contact details and a brief, general description, with a notice that submitting it does not create an attorney-client relationship
  • Attorney-advertising and no-legal-advice disclaimers placed where the firm’s rules require them, not buried in a footer only
  • Real photography of the attorneys and offices rather than stock gavels, scales, and courthouse columns

How it would run

How a first engagement would run.

Webbify has no published legal project yet. This page describes the approach it would take, not past results.

The work starts with how prospective clients actually search for the firm’s practice areas, and with what the current site says about them. Most firm sites have one of two problems: a single page trying to cover every practice area, or a set of thin pages that repeat the same copy with a different heading.

  • A review of the current site and how the firm’s practice areas are searched for in the Houston area and beyond
  • A page plan: which practice areas get their own page, which questions deserve articles, and what each page must not say
  • Draft content written for the client’s situation, then reviewed and approved by the firm before anything is published
  • A build with the disclaimers, inquiry flow, and Google Business Profile details set up correctly at launch

Every draft is written to be reviewed. Anything that reads as a comparison, a result, or a credential is flagged for the firm to confirm or remove, because the firm’s bar rules decide what can be said, not the designer.

Handled with care

What Webbify does not publish on a law firm site

  • Comparisons such as “best”, “top”, or “leading” are generally restricted because they cannot be verified; the site uses them only if the firm’s own rules and review allow it
  • Case results and settlement figures are published only with the firm’s approval and the disclaimers its rules require, and are never invented or rounded up
  • Terms such as “specialist” or “certified” appear only where the lawyer actually holds the certification, for example board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
  • Reviews and testimonials are handled within the firm’s bar rules and FTC guidance on endorsements, never written, edited, or selectively invented
  • Nothing on the site gives legal advice, and the inquiry form never asks for confidential case details before the firm has run a conflict check
  • Webbify is not a law firm and gives no legal or ethics advice; the firm, and its ethics counsel where it has one, approves all advertising content before launch

Questions

What law firms ask.

Can our site say we’re the best injury lawyers in Houston?

Probably not. Bar rules generally restrict comparisons that cannot be verified, and “best” is the textbook example. The firm’s own rules and review decide, but a site that explains what the firm does, who handles the case, and how the process works is more persuasive anyway.

Should we publish case results?

Only if the firm approves each one and it carries the disclaimers the firm’s rules require. Results can create unjustified expectations about a new client’s case, which is exactly what the rules are written to prevent. Webbify never invents, rounds up, or selects results on the firm’s behalf.

What should the contact form ask?

Name, phone, email, and a brief, general description of the matter, plus a notice that submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship. It should not invite confidential details, because the firm has not run a conflict check yet. Longer intake belongs in the firm’s own process after the first call.

Do we need a page for each practice area?

For each practice area the firm actively wants to grow, yes. People search for their specific situation, and one page covering everything ranks for nothing in particular. Practice areas the firm handles only occasionally can be listed without their own page.

Does your site cover every practice area on one page?

Request a site review. Webbify looks at how clients search for what your firm does, how the current site is structured, and what it says, then explains what is worth changing.
