California Law Firm Website Design & Development
AI-built in 7 days. SEO architecture, State Bar compliance, and conversion-first intake — a law firm website engineered to sign cases, not just look good.
01Why firms rebuild
Four things an old law firm site costs you.
The four reasons California firms come to us for a rebuild, in their own words.
The site looks like 2015 — and clients notice
Potential clients judge a law firm in seconds. A dated template, stock gavel photos, and a wall of text signal a firm that is behind — before anyone reads a word about your practice.
It loads slowly and leaks cases
Over half of legal searches happen on a phone. Every second of load time is a signed case going to the next firm on the list.
Google and AI engines cannot read it
No schema markup, broken heading structure, missing titles — if Google cannot parse it, ChatGPT and Perplexity will never cite it.
It was never built to convert
A law firm website has one job: turn a visitor in crisis into a consultation. No click-to-call, buried contact forms, and no intake flow means traffic without cases.

Day 7
02A rebuild, in one frame
Five pages became thirty-two.
Both frames are the homepage as it renders at 1440px, captured 3 August 2026. The "before" is the live WordPress site; the "after" is the new build, now live on the same domain — so this is a comparison of design and structure, not of traffic or rankings. Published with the client’s permission.

05Web Design for Law Firms
Website Design for Law Firms That Has to Convert.
Attorney website design and lawyer website design are the same job: turn a search into a consultation. Our law firm website development is planned for that from the first wireframe, not bolted on at launch.
Web design for law firms, live in 7 days
Law firm web design on a fixed timeline: brief, build, review and launch inside seven days, with your practice areas written and your intake form wired to tracking.
Lawyer website design with SEO built in
Every page ships with the title, schema and internal links a practice-area page needs, so the website design for law firms we deliver starts ranking without a second project.
Law firm website development, not templates
Custom components, fast load times and mobile-first layouts. No theme licence, no page builder, nothing you will have to rebuild in a year.
Law firm website redesign on your domain
Already have a site? We redesign it on the same domain, redirect the old URLs and move every practice area onto pages built for Google and AI search.
Legal website design for every practice area
Personal injury, criminal defense, family law, immigration and estate planning each get their own page structure, intake questions and search targets.
A law firm website design company that also does SEO
One team for the build and the rankings, so nothing is lost in a hand-off between a law firm website developer and a separate SEO agency.
06FAQ
Law firm website design questions, answered.
01How much does law firm website design cost?
Monthly law firm website packages start at $799/month for Starter, $1,199/month for Growth, and $1,699/month for Dominate. Final pricing is scoped in writing based on your practice areas, page count, and integrations. Plans run from Starter (a custom 5-page site for solo attorneys) to Growth (up to 15 pages with full SEO architecture) and Dominate (unlimited pages and multi-location SEO). No hidden fees and no long-term contracts.
02How long does law firm website development take?
About 7 days from kickoff to launch: discovery and strategy on day 1, design and content on days 2 to 3, build and compliance on days 4 to 6, and launch and handoff on day 7.
03Do you redesign existing law firm websites?
Yes. Most of our builds are a law firm website redesign. We keep your domain, redirect old URLs to their new pages so existing rankings carry over, and relaunch in about 7 days. The McAllister rebuild took a five-page WordPress site to thirty-two pages on the same domain.
04How are you different from other law firm website design companies?
The build and the SEO come from one team. Every page ships with its title, schema and internal links, is reviewed against California State Bar Rules 7.1 to 7.5, and targets a 95+ PageSpeed score, so the website starts ranking without a second project.
05Do you build Spanish-language attorney websites?
Yes. Bilingual builds are optional, with native-quality Spanish content rather than machine translation, for California’s largest client communities.
