Frequently Asked Questions

What are Best Practices for Law Firms?
We have very detailed articles about best practices located in our blog. To help you get started, our favorites are 2018 Law Firm Marketing Guide, 7 Tips for Award-Winning Brands, and 5 Best Practices for Conversion.

Do you have long-term contracts for your website designs?
No. We don't believe in vendor lock-in, which often happens with most web design companies. Yes, we have a contract for the initial website design that outlines our price and deliverables. But once the site is complete, you are outside of a contract. If you want to work with a different website maintenance team, different web host, or a different marketing company after launch, then you are free to do so. We, of course, provide all those services and would love to have you as an ongoing client.

How long does the website design process take?
We have four levels of design at PaperStreet, so the time line varies by complexity of the site. Essentials sites can be done in a few weeks. Our Plus and Custom level websites typically take a few months. Our Enterprise level sites can take 4 to 6 months (or longer for some firms).

What is included in a website redesign or new design?
A lot. For all our clients, we include the website design, website development, site architecture, content audit, ADA compliance, wireframes, branding, printer-friendly pages, stock photography, contact forms, content management system, SSL/TLS, unlimited pages in the CMS, custom home page design, custom sub-page designs (depending on the project), revisions and more. We even include SEO for all our websites (title tags, meta descriptions, best practices for content, XML sitemaps, Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics, rich snippets and more). For some clients, we include logo design, content writing and editing, animations, PDF printer-friendly pages, web hosting, website maintenance, branding, taglines, and other services.

Are your websites mobile friendly?
Yes. Yes. Yes. We were one of the first web design companies for lawyers to produce a Responsive website. This is where the website changes shape depending on whether you are browsing on a mobile, tablet, or desktop device.

What are optional services?
We do a lot at PaperStreet. We offer internet marketing, SEO, PPC, newsletters and more.

Do your websites have SSL security?
Yes. We believe in encryption and all our WordPress websites come with a SSL.

Are your websites search friendly and do they include SEO?
Yes, all our websites comes with a base SEO package. This includes title tags, meta descriptions, best practices for content, XML sitemaps, Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics, rich snippets and more.

Do you provide custom website design?
Yes. We have won over 100 awards for our custom designs. In fact, we won 25 awards in 2017 alone! So yeah, we do a lot of custom design work.

What type of input do I have in the website process?
Your firm is integral in the entire process. We typically ask clients to complete a project brief and we have kick-off calls, during which time we get your feedback on our site architecture ideas. We also review branding with you and seek your input on the photography, messaging, content, and of course, the web designs. Prior to launch, we seek your input during the beta test and work with your team throughout the process.

Do I own the copyright in the website?
Yes. Once our project is complete, you own the copyright in the design. With some vendors, you don't own anything.

Can I switch teams once my website is complete?
Yes. If you ever became dissatisfied with our team, you can always switch to another company for the website maintenance and web hosting.
