Is your website built to help your law firm grow—or is it hindering your potential? It’s tempting to put your website on the back burner while you focus on managing the day-to-day, but firms with a professional web presence make the best first impression on potential clients. If you’ve been coasting with the same website for years, there’s a good chance it’s time for an update.
For busy attorneys, the best way to refresh your web presence is with a done-for-you TitleTap website. TitleTap offers turnkey websites with features designed just for the legal industry. From modern templates that strengthen your firm’s reputation to built-in content that helps you start ranking in local search results, revamping your website is easy with TitleTap.
Explore the signs that it’s time for an update and the TitleTap features that can help make the transition seamless below.
1. Your Website Design Is Dated
Clients don’t have to be professional web designers to know when a website looks dated. A cluttered or chaotic layout that’s not mobile-friendly speaks volumes to visitors, and it won’t do your law firm any favors. Prospects develop a first impression within 50 milliseconds of arriving at your website—before they can learn about your firm, research your services, or dig into your content. When a snap judgment can dictate whether a prospect stays or goes, your site design has to be good enough to speak for itself.
With a TitleTap website, you can choose an updated, professional site design that meshes with your brand and style. Choose from a variety of clean layouts developed by design experts to make a lasting first impression on potential clients and instill confidence in your firm from the first glance.
2. Visitors Aren’t Converting
Your website should be driving conversions that help grow your law firm, but if users aren’t taking the actions you want—filling out contact forms, calling your office, or requesting consultations—it’s time for an update. The best law firm websites easily convert new visitors into warm leads that grow your client list, but your site has to lay the foundation with easy access to forms, contact information, and sign-ups.
Research shows that updating your site layout can increase user conversions up to 400%, highlighting just how essential that first impression is to signing more cases. Upgrading with user-friendly TitleTap website design can turn your site into a streamlined lead generation machine by putting your firm’s contact information and forms front-and-center, encouraging new visitors to get in touch.
3. You’re Not Ranking in Search Results
Roughly 74% of people use a search engine to find a lawyer, but less than 1% scroll past the first 10 results. If your firm doesn’t land on the first page of search results for high-value keywords, you’re sending business to the local firms who are. SEO is a specialty that most law firms don’t have time or capital to prioritize, but choosing the right website builder to revamp your web presence can bridge the gap.
TitleTap incorporates SEO best practices into the content and framework of your website. It gives you the competitive edge you need to start ranking on Page 1. Each website comes with built-in keyword-rich SEO content that help your firm show up when prospects start searching.
4. Your Website Is Slow
A slow-loading website can hamper your ability to grow as much as a dated design, low conversion rates, and search engine invisibility. With so many choices at their fingertips, potential clients won’t wait around if your site takes more than 3 seconds to load. To make matters worse, slow loading speeds can penalize your website in search results.
You can determine how long your site takes to load with the Google PageSpeed tool. If it’s longer than 3 seconds, it’s critical to address the issue to prevent high-potential prospects from leaving your firm’s site.
Fixing a slow-loading website can be a complicated process; large images, server performance, caching or coding issues, and redirects can all decimate your loading speed. The most efficient fix is a complete refresh with a high-performance TitleTap website. Each website is optimized for fast loading and browsing, built with a mobile-friendly interface, and designed to seamlessly funnel prospects through your lead generation funnel.
5. Site Functionality Is Limited
What can your clients and prospects accomplish on your website? If you’re not offering users the ability to schedule consultations, leave and read reviews, browse in-depth FAQs for answers to legal questions, or submit payments online, it’s time to increase the functionality of your website. Adding value for leads and clients with a highly-functional website can help you stand apart from competitors and offer client service that better reflects the mission and goals of your firm.
Your website should be the digital hub of your law firm, giving potential and current clients a fast, easy way to connect with your team to get the help they need. With a turnkey TitleTap website, you can ensure your firm looks great online and adds real value for your clients. You can easily collect and share positive client reviews, accept online payments, and add a library of blog and video content to answer common questions and drive your lead generation efforts with your customized TitleTap website.
6. No Built-In Security and Compliance Measures
As a legal professional, you’re committed to offering the best representation and service to clients. But are you following website security and compliance protocols that protect confidential data and keep your firm in compliance with federal and bar association rules? If your website doesn’t have built-in measures to ensure security and compliance, you could be putting your firm and client data at risk.
Consider revamping your web presence to increase security and stay in compliance with TitleTap. Built-in firewall protection, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols, and powerful spam prevention protect the exchange of sensitive data on your customizable site. Every TitleTap law firm website meets compliance requirements for SOC 2, ADA, and language translation to ensure you’re able to offer the highest level of client service and security online. Other website builders or website marketing agencies provide these extra security features, but for an additional cost!
