Attorneys Module

We have created a flexible attorney system that allows for very detailed fields to fit your biographies.

Staff Module

We know your staff is just as important as the attorneys. We have a dedicated staff module with similar fields to the attorneys, which allows us to run separate queries for menus and build different layouts as needed.

Staff Module


Practice Module

A practice area module allows firms to categorize their services by practice area, making it easier for potential clients to find relevant information about their specific legal needs. With a well-organized practice area module, law firms can showcase their expertise, provide relevant content, and build trust with potential clients. These modules can also help firms attract more qualified leads and ultimately drive more business. By incorporating a practice area module into their website, law firms can enhance their online presence and stay ahead of the competition.

Practice Module


News Module

By incorporating a news module into their website, law firms can publish articles, press releases, and other relevant content to keep their clients and website visitors up-to-date on the latest legal news and trends. Additionally, a news module can help law firms position themselves as thought leaders within their industry, further establishing their credibility and expertise. With a news module, law firms can provide valuable information to their audience, drive website traffic and increase engagement with their brand. Overall, a news module is a valuable addition to any law firm website looking to stay current and relevant in the eyes of its audience.

Events Module

An events module allows law firms to easily create event pages, provide detailed information about the event and allow visitors to RSVP or register for the event directly on their website. Additionally, a well-designed events module can help law firms increase attendance and engagement at their events by providing a simple and convenient way for visitors to sign up and receive reminders. This module can also be used to promote past events by displaying photos, videos or recaps of the event. Overall, an events module is a valuable asset for any law firm looking to promote its events and engage with its audience.

Offices Module

In an offices module, law firms can provide addresses, contact information, hours of operation and other relevant details for each office. This module can also include maps and directions to help visitors easily locate the nearest office. Additionally, an offices module can help law firms build credibility by showcasing their physical presence and demonstrating their reach within their community. By incorporating an offices module into their website, law firms can provide a user-friendly experience for their clients and make it easy for visitors to connect with their firm from any location.

Contact Page, Contact Forms and Database of Leads

Contact forms allow visitors to quickly and easily get in touch with the firm without the need for them to manually type out an email or phone number. A well-designed contact form can help streamline communication and encourage potential clients to seek legal advice. It's important to ensure that the contact form is easy to find on the website and that it includes all the necessary fields, such as name, email address, phone number and a message box. Additionally, incorporating features like captcha can help prevent spam submissions and protect the privacy of both the firm and the visitors. With the right setup, a contact form can be a powerful tool for boosting the effectiveness of a law firm's website.

Contact Module


Related Fields (attorneys > practices > offices > news)

In WordPress, there are several related fields that are essential for attorneys, practices, offices and news to be highlighted on a law firm website. The "Attorneys" section is where the firm can introduce its lawyers and provide detailed information about their experience, education and areas of practice. The "Practices" section is where the firm can showcase its expertise in specific areas of law, such as personal injury, family law or intellectual property. The "Offices" section is where the firm can list its physical locations and provide details about each one, including hours of operation and contact information. Finally, the "News" section is where the firm can share updates about recent cases, industry news or other relevant information. By including these related fields on their website, law firms can provide valuable information to their potential clients, build credibility and establish themselves as experts in their field.

vCards

VCards allow visitors to quickly and easily save the contact information of an attorney to their address book or contact list, which can be incredibly helpful for those who need to reach out to the firm in the future. Our system will automatically create them once you populate the bio with the phone number, address, email and other fields.

Animations

Website animations using CSS and JS can be a great way to enhance the user experience and make a website more engaging. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) can be used to create simple animations, such as hover effects or transitions between pages. More complex animations can be achieved using JavaScript (JS), which allows for greater interactivity and control over the animation. Some examples of JS-based animations include scrolling animations, image carousels and interactive menus. When using animations on a website, it's important to ensure that they don't slow down the website's loading speed, as this can negatively impact the user experience. Additionally, it's important to use animations in moderation and only when they serve a clear purpose, such as highlighting important information or guiding the user through the website. By using animations effectively, web developers can create more engaging and dynamic websites that are sure to impress visitors.

Creating an SEO-friendly WordPress website is crucial for driving traffic and improving the visibility of a website on search engines. One way to achieve this is by using the Yoast SEO plugin, which provides a suite of tools and features to help optimize a website for search engines. With Yoast, users can easily optimize their content by providing meta descriptions, focus keywords and readability analysis. The plugin also includes features such as XML sitemap generation and canonical URL management, which help ensure that search engines can easily crawl and index the website's pages. In addition, Yoast provides users with actionable insights and suggestions for improving their website's SEO, making it a valuable tool for both beginners and experienced web developers.

Google Analytics / Google Search Console

Google Analytics and Google Search Console are two powerful tools that can be used to improve the performance of a WordPress website. Google Analytics provides detailed insights into how visitors interact with the website, including information about traffic sources, user behavior and conversion rates. By analyzing this data, website owners can make informed decisions about how to optimize their website for better performance. Google Search Console, on the other hand, provides information about how the website appears in Google search results, as well as any errors or issues that may be impacting its visibility. By monitoring these metrics, website owners can identify and resolve any technical or content-related issues that may be hindering their website's SEO. When integrated with a WordPress website, both Google Analytics and Google Search Console can provide valuable insights and data to help improve the website's performance and achieve its online goals.

Additionally, a well-designed events module can help law firms increase attendance and engagement at their events by providing a simple and convenient way for visitors to sign up and receive reminders. This module can also be used to promote past events by displaying photos, videos or recaps of the event. Overall, an events module is a valuable asset for any law firm looking to promote its events and engage with its audience.


GDPR / CCPA Compliance

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) are two data privacy laws that have significant implications for law firm websites. GDPR applies to all websites that collect or process the personal data of EU residents, while CCPA applies to websites that collect the personal data of California residents. To comply with these laws, law firm websites must implement measures such as obtaining user consent for data collection, providing users with clear information about what data is being collected and how it will be used, and implementing appropriate security measures to protect user data. Law firms may also need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance with GDPR regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant fines and reputational damage. To ensure compliance with GDPR and CCPA, law firms should work with experienced web developers and legal professionals to ensure that their website meets all legal requirements and provides users with a secure and transparent experience.

ADA - LEVEL II

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Level II compliance is an important consideration for law firm websites. Level II compliance ensures that websites are accessible to users with disabilities, such as those with visual or hearing impairments. WordPress provides a range of accessibility features that can help law firm websites achieve Level II compliance, including alt text for images, color contrast ratios, and keyboard accessibility. However, achieving full compliance can be complex and may require additional customizations or plugins. To ensure that a law firm website is fully ADA compliant, it's important to work with experienced web developers who are familiar with ADA regulations and accessibility best practices. By investing in ADA compliance, law firms can improve the user experience for all users, including those with disabilities, and demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.

Social Media Integration (Twitter, FB, Instagram, LinkedIn)

WordPress makes it easy to integrate social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn into a law firm website. One way to do this is by including social media icons in the website header or footer that link directly to the law firm's social media profiles. Law firms can also embed social media feeds directly into their website, which can display the latest updates and posts from their social media profiles. This can help keep website visitors engaged and up-to-date on the latest news and events from the law firm. In addition, social media can be a powerful tool for promoting blog posts, news updates and other content from the law firm website. By integrating social media into their WordPress website, law firms can increase their online presence, engage with their audience and drive traffic to their website.

Site Search

A site search function allows users to quickly and easily search for specific content on the website, such as blog posts, articles or pages. WordPress offers built-in site search functionality that can be easily integrated into a law firm website. By default, WordPress uses its own search algorithm to provide search results, but this can be enhanced with plugins such as SearchWP or Relevanssi, which provide more advanced search functionality and customization options. Site search is especially important for larger law firm websites that have a lot of content, as it can help users find the information they need quickly and efficiently. In addition, site search can provide valuable insights into what users are searching for on the website, which can be used to inform content creation and optimization strategies. By implementing site search on their WordPress website, law firms can improve the user experience, increase engagement and drive conversions.

Responsive Design

Responsive design ensures that the website can be viewed and used seamlessly on any device, including desktop computers, tablets and smartphones. With a responsive design, the website automatically adjusts its layout and content to fit the screen size of the device being used, providing a consistent and user-friendly experience for all users. WordPress offers a range of responsive themes and templates that are designed to work on any device, as well as customization options that allow law firms to tailor their website to their specific needs. With more and more users accessing websites on mobile devices, having a responsive design is essential for ensuring that law firm websites are accessible and effective for all users. By investing in responsive design for their WordPress website, law firms can improve the user experience, increase engagement and drive conversions.

Content Teasing / Excerpts

Content teasing and content excerpts are useful features that can be implemented in a law firm website built on WordPress to entice visitors to read more of the website's content. Content teasing involves displaying a preview or snippet of a longer piece of content, such as a blog post, article or case study, to entice users to click through and read the full content. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as displaying a summary of the content on the homepage, adding a "Read More" button to the end of a teaser or using a slider to showcase multiple teasers. Content excerpts, on the other hand, involve displaying a short summary or snippet of a longer piece of content such as a blog post, article or page within the website's search results or archives. This can help users quickly determine whether the content is relevant to their needs and interests and can encourage them to click through and read more. By using content teasing and content excerpts in their WordPress law firm website, law firms can increase engagement, improve the user experience, and drive more traffic to their website.

Drag and Drop

With drag-and-drop editing, users can simply drag and drop pre-designed content elements such as text boxes, images, videos and buttons onto the page where they want them to appear. This allows users to easily create custom layouts, add visual interest and update their website without needing to know HTML or CSS. WordPress offers a range of drag-and-drop editors and page builders, such as Elementor and Divi, which provide a variety of customization options and pre-designed templates to choose from. By using drag-and-drop editing on their WordPress law firm website, law firms can save time, streamline the content creation process and create visually appealing and engaging content that resonates with their target audience.


File Manager

With a file manager, users can easily upload, organize and access files from within the WordPress dashboard, without needing to use FTP or a separate file management tool. The file manager can be used to organize documents such as legal forms, case studies and other resources, as well as media assets such as images, videos and audio files. This makes it easy for law firms to manage their website's content and resources in one central location. WordPress offers a range of file manager plugins, such as WP File Manager and FileBird, that provide a variety of features, including the ability to create folders and subfolders, set permissions and access files directly from the WordPress editor. By using a file manager in their WordPress law firm website, law firms can improve the efficiency and organization of their website management, making it easier to find and use important files and resources.

Photo Cropping

Cropping images can help to resize and refocus them, making them more visually appealing and relevant to the website's content. WordPress offers a built-in image editor that enables users to crop, rotate and resize images directly from the media library. This feature is especially useful for law firms that want to showcase their team members, office spaces or events through images, as they can easily crop and resize these images to fit the website's design and layout. Additionally, users can also use image compression tools to reduce the file size of images, which can improve website loading times and reduce bandwidth usage. By utilizing the photo cropping feature in WordPress, law firms can improve the overall visual appeal and user experience of their website and make it more engaging and informative for their audience.

Redirects

Redirects can be set up using WordPress plugins, such as Redirection or Simple 301 Redirects, which allow users to easily manage and redirect URLs. When a visitor clicks on a broken or outdated link, they will be redirected to a new, updated page, which can help to improve the user experience and reduce bounce rates. Additionally, redirects can also be used to redirect visitors from a temporary page or event page back to the main website, or to redirect traffic from an old website to a new one after a website redesign or migration. By using redirects in their WordPress law firm website, law firms can improve the usability and accessibility of their website, ensuring that visitors can easily find the information they need and access relevant pages and resources.

Redirects


Activity Log

An activity log is a helpful feature that can be integrated into a WordPress law firm website to monitor user activity and track changes made to the website. This can be useful for law firms with multiple users accessing the website, as it allows administrators to monitor and review any changes made to the website's content or settings. The activity log plugin can track user logins, page edits, plugin installations and other key activities, providing detailed information about who made the change and when it was made. The plugin can also be customized to notify administrators via email or SMS alerts when certain activities occur, such as failed login attempts or changes to important website settings. By utilizing an activity log in their WordPress law firm website, law firms can improve their website security and ensure that any unauthorized or suspicious activity is detected and addressed quickly. It can also provide valuable insights into how the website is being used and help identify areas for improvement.

This ecosystem of plugins allows users to easily customize and enhance their WordPress website to meet their specific needs without requiring any coding knowledge.
