Services

What I build for your law firm.

I work only for law firms: lawyers practising on their own, and small and mid-sized firms. This page sets out what’s included. Scope, price and schedule come later, in writing, in your proposal.

01

Your firm’s website

Clients check you online before they call. Your website should then feel as clear and calm as a good first meeting. From every page, there’s a short path to a client enquiry.

  • New, or a relaunch of your current site
  • Built for phones first, and kept lean so it loads fast
  • A clickable draft before anything goes online
  • For a relaunch, I keep the content that’s already being found and redirect old addresses cleanly
02

A page for every practice area

Clients come with a question. Is my landlord allowed to do that? What am I entitled to after being dismissed? Each of your practice areas gets its own page that picks up questions like these in plain words and shows where you can help.

  • Written factually, with § 43b BRAO in mind
  • How you name your practice areas, for example as a Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt (focus area), is your call. § 7 BORA ties such statements to knowledge you must be able to prove.
  • I only use terms like ‘Spezialist’ on your instruction. “Fachanwalt” (certified specialist) appears only where you’re entitled to use that designation.
  • Whether a term could be confused with a Fachanwalt title (§ 7(2) BORA) is for you to decide when you approve the text.
03

Being found by practice area and town

Someone looking for a lawyer might type ‘Arbeitsrecht Anwalt Darmstadt’ (employment lawyer Darmstadt). I build the foundations for that: a page per practice area, with your town in it. A lawyer directory profile can stay alongside your website.

  • I set up your Google Business Profile as part of the job
  • Practice area and town in page titles and headings
04

I write the texts. You approve them.

You don’t have to supply any texts. At the start we talk in depth about your firm and your practice areas. Then I write, you read and approve.

  • One thorough conversation at the start, and your approvals
  • Clear sentences clients understand without a law degree
  • Every text goes online only with your approval
  • As factual or as personal as you want to come across
05

A checklist for the mandatory details

Law firms have more information duties than many other providers. I go through the details with you using a checklist and build them in so they’re easy to find. Whether they’re complete and correct is for you to decide.

  • Impressum (legal notice) under § 5 DDG, reachable from every page
  • The bar association you belong to, your statutory professional title and the state that granted it
  • The professional rules that apply and how to access them
  • Professional liability insurance under § 2 DL-InfoV: the insurer’s name and address, and the territorial scope of cover

Technical help, not legal advice. I’m a designer, not a lawyer. Approving your texts under the professional rules is up to you.

06

Privacy-friendly basics

People who visit a law firm’s website are often looking for help with something personal. So I build the site to send as little data to third parties as possible. Anything extra that gets embedded is your decision.

  • Fonts hosted locally, not loaded from third-party servers
  • No ad trackers, unless you explicitly want them
  • Maps, videos and other external services only when you decide to add them
  • On request I count enquiries in a privacy-friendly way. Then you see what comes in.
07

Care after launch, if you want it

After launch I stay reachable for you. If you like, I’ll also look after your site from then on, for example when you add a practice area or your details change. What the care covers is set out in writing in the proposal.

  • Optional. You decide whether you want it.
  • Technical updates and changes to content
  • New texts, like all the others, go online only with your approval
The process in detail

Deliberately not

What I deliberately don’t do.

Some things that are common in web design don’t suit a law firm. I leave them out.

  • Ads only when you commission them.

    I don’t run any advertising in your name that you haven’t explicitly commissioned.

  • Pop-ups and countdowns stay out.

    Clients should be able to read in peace. One calm way to get in touch is enough.

  • Client matters only with consent.

    Advertising with client matters or clients appears on your site only with express consent. That’s what § 6(2) BORA requires. Separately, I only name your firm as a reference if you expressly agree.

  • No ranking promises.

    Nobody can honestly guarantee top rankings or a set number of client enquiries. I build the foundations so people find you and can reach you easily.

§ Promises

Four promises. In writing, in every proposal.

They apply to every service on this page.

§ 1

Everything in writing.

What we discuss, you get in writing. Scope, price and schedule are in the proposal before you sign anything.

§ 2

No sales pressure.

No calls you didn’t ask for, no reps, no signing during a conversation. You decide in your own time.

§ 3

Your texts, your approval.

Only what you’ve approved goes online. Every text, every image.

§ 4

One point of contact.

You always talk to me directly, by phone or email. No call centre, no ticket system.

Free website check

Which of these does your firm need?

The free website check shows you. You’ll see in writing what your site does well today and where it loses client enquiries.

I look at your website personally and usually get back to you within a few working days. No call needed, no newsletter.
