Web Design for Employment Law

Web Design for Employment Lawyers

Most employment firm websites make the HR director guess which side the firm is on. We build the site that says it on the first screen, explains how you defend a charge and how you bill, and asks for the company and the deadline.

For employer-side employment firms in the United States whose site needs to speak to the company, not the employee, and record where each inquiry came from.

What the site has to do for an employer-side firm

Context from how your customers search, compare and book.

The HR director with a charge on the desk reads on a phone and decides in minutes. The first screen has to say that the firm acts for employers, the second has to name the kinds of matter it takes, and the third has to explain how it bills in USD and who will take the call. A site built around attorney bios and a list of practice labels makes that reader do the work, and most of them leave.

Employee pages, if the firm keeps them, belong on their own path with their own form and their own tracking. An employer intake form asks for the company, the issue and the deadline. An employee form asks what happened. Mixing the two on one contact page is how a firm ends up with an inbox full of the wrong side and no idea which page produced the one good inquiry.

Every page is approved by the owner before it goes live, because the lawyer advertising rules of the firm's state apply to the website, and HeyLead holds no law license and gives no legal advice. The credentials page states only the admissions, certifications and memberships the firm actually holds, and no page promises a result.

How we deliver Web Design

A clear, repeatable process built around how employment law customers search and decide.

Audit and page map

We read the current site as an HR director would, note where the side the firm acts for is unclear, where employee and employer paths mix and where forms fail, and agree a page map with the owner.

Copy the owner approves

Plain pages for each kind of claim the firm defends and each kind of agreement it drafts, a billing page in USD and a credentials page with only what the firm holds. Every page is approved by the owner before design starts.

Design for the phone

A first screen that states the side, large tap targets for the phone number and the intake button, compressed images and trimmed scripts so the page loads on a phone between meetings.

Intake and tracking

An employer form that asks for the company, the issue and the deadline, an employee form on its own path if the firm wants one, and call and form tracking that records the page and the search behind each inquiry.

Launch and first month review

We launch, test every form and call path, and review the first month of inquiries by page with the owner to see which pages need clearer answers and which can be added next.

Technical approach

The mechanics behind Web Design for employment law, explained plainly.

Speed and mobile

Compressed images, trimmed scripts and server caching so the practice page loads quickly on a phone. Forms submit on the first try and the phone number is a tap target on every page.

Structured data

Legal service structured data with the firm's name, address, phone and areas served, kept identical across the site, the Business Profile and directories.

Tracking and privacy

Calls and forms are tracked by page and search without any client or employee detail leaving the firm. Employee forms, if kept, record to a separate goal.

What a Employment Law website costs

Employment Law web design starts at $2,000. Scope depends on how many pages and features you need, and we agree it with you after seeing your current site.

What to expect from a rebuild

A rebuild takes a few weeks to plan, write and build, and the first month after launch shows which pages earn employer inquiries.

Weeks 1 to 2

Audit, page map and copy for the owner to approve. Nothing is designed until the words are right.

Weeks 3 to 6

Design, build, intake forms and tracking. The owner reviews each page on a phone before launch.

Month 2 and beyond

The first month of inquiries by page shows which answers work. We add pages for the kinds of matter that produced inquiries and clarify the ones that did not. We do not promise a number of matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the site say which side we act for? expand_more
Yes, on the first screen. An HR director who has to guess leaves. A firm that takes both employer and employee work can say so, with each side on its own path and its own form.
Should the site show fees? expand_more
A billing page that explains how the firm bills, whether hourly, flat fee or retainer, using the rates the owner sets in USD. It does not need to quote a rate, but it should remove the fear that fees are a secret.
Who approves the copy? expand_more
The owner, before design starts and again before launch. The lawyer advertising rules of the firm's state apply to the website, and HeyLead holds no law license and gives no legal advice.
Can you build on our existing site? expand_more
Often, yes. If the platform is sound we rewrite the pages, fix the intake path and add tracking. If it is slow or locked, we rebuild. The audit tells us which.
How long does a rebuild take? expand_more
A few weeks to plan, write and build, with the owner approving copy and reviewing pages on a phone before launch. The first month after launch shows which pages earn employer inquiries.
